Former DP World Australia CEO Andrew Adam has been appointed as a non-executive director at the Intermodal Terminal Company (ITC).
ITC Chair John Fullerton says Andrew’s experience is a great win for the company.
“Andrew has more than three decades of expertise, experience and senior leadership roles in state, national and global logistics supply chains, including as the former chief executive officer of DP World Australia, President of Freight of Australia’s largest private rail freight company, Pacific National, and more recently non-executive director of NSW Ports,” Fullerton says.
“As the ITC approaches completion of construction of the Inner Terminal of the $400 million Melbourne Intermodal Terminal, Andrew’s skill set and industry knowledge and connections will help in the next stage of the project which includes commencing port shuttle and interstate operations and services at Australia’s newest and largest intermodal terminal.”
Fullerton’s thoughts were mirrored by ITC CEO Mishkel Maharaj.
“Andrew will be a tremendous addition and asset to our company as we start to transition from major construction activities into implementing extensive operations and services at our intermodal terminal later this year,” Maharaj says.
“Interest from tier one organisations and rail freight operators continues to grow around the many and varied benefits of the MIT, including the ability for future customers to co-locate with warehousing in the surrounding Melbourne Intermodal & Industrial Exchange (MIIX).
“Combined, the MIT and MIIX developments equate to a $1.6 billion investment by Aware Super, Aware Real Estate and Barings in the Victorian and national supply chains — the largest in a generation,” he said.
For Andrew Adam, the timing of his arrival and the breadth of projects on the go is a positive.
“I’m excited to be part of both a dynamic team and project which will help to significantly boost the productivity, capacity and reliability of rail, road and sea freight operations in regional, state and national supply chains,” Andrew says.
“Future customers of the MIT and MIIX will enjoy state-of-the-art facilities and services and seamless access to the Port of Melbourne via major rail and road networks, including the ARTC standard gauge network and Hume Freeway, which connect directly to the intermodal terminal.
“The integrated MIT and MIIX developments represent an ideal model of how to offer supply chain customers with a superior service offering in a cost effective manner, including providing related benefits like co-located warehousing and energy-efficient operations,” he said.
