Agility to provide logistics support for Australia’s largest single-resource project

Leading global logistics provider, Agility, has won a two-year Australian contract worth $238 million to provide logistics support for one of the world’s largest natural gas projects.

The Gorgon natural gas project will have Agility providing logistics, stevedoring, and related services in support of the Marine Loading Facility in Henderson, Perth.

Furthermore, Agility was granted a two-year extension of its existing contract to support supply base operations and transportation services, in which the stevedoring services have been added.  The extended contract has commenced and will run through to 28 April 2014.

"The renewal of the Gorgon contract underscores Agility's reputation for efficient, effective and highly dependable performance on complex logistics assignments,” said Mick Turnbull, CEO of Agility Australasia.

"The additional services and extension of our contract is a testimony to the hard work and commitment that our team has shown. We are committed to working safely even in the most challenging environments, and look forward to continuing our successful partnership for some time to come.”

Patrick Stevedoring was appointed by Agility as the prime subcontractor for the stevedoring services.

“We are pleased to be working with Agility on these additional services to offer support to the Marine Loading Facility in Perth and are confident that we can play an important part in this project,” said Philip Tonks, general manager of the Patrick Stevedoring Division.

Operated by Chevron, the Gorgon project is said to be the largest single-resource project in Australia’s history. It is a joint venture of the Australian subsidiaries of Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, Osaka Gas, Tokyo Gas and Chubu Electric Power.
