Shipping management in Australia - geography sets us apart, shipping brings us together

摘要

Australia, as an island nation, is reliant on shipping. We are responsible for some 16 million square kilometres of ocean, have a coastline of over 60 thousand kilometres and our land mass is around 50% greater than Europe. These features, combined with our geographic isolation, underpin our need for, and commitment to, a sustainable international shipping industry. Shipping carries 99% of Australia's trade by volume and our shipping task makes up 10% of the world's seaborne trade - the fourth largest global shipping task.
