Global transport and logistics leader DSV Air & Sea has officially opened its new warehouse and container depot on Fisherman Islands at the Port of Brisbane, with around 80 guests joining Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd (PBPL) and the DSV Air & Sea Oceania Executive to officially cut the ribbon.
The new facility enables DSV Air & Sea, an existing customer at the Port, to consolidate its Freight Forwarding, Warehousing, Projects and Mining Supply Services into one purpose-built location.
Delivered by PBPL with Principal Contractor, McNab, on a 4.8ha site, the new facility comprises a 14,900sqm customs bonded warehouse, two-storey operations office, and approximately 26,220sqm of container-rated hardstand as well as awnings, truck manoeuvring and approved quarantine cleaning and storage capabilities,
As in all new PBPL developments, it was delivered to a 5-star equivalent rating, incorporating features such as a 100kW solar installation, low carbon concrete, energy-efficient LED lighting, water-efficient fittings, and the use of recycled materials.
PBPL CEO, Neil Stephens, congratulated all involved and welcomed DSV Air & Sea.
“We are delighted to welcome DSV Air & Sea to its new home. This prime location, adjacent to the wharves on Fisherman Islands, also places them in the heart of the action as they focus on servicing major renewables projects coming through the Port,” says Neil.
“While an excellent outcome for our customer, this is also a particularly proud build for PBPL, with the development achieving substantial reductions in embodied carbon emissions.
“Through the significant use of low carbon concrete on both internal and external slabs, this project reduced embodied carbon emissions by approximately 33 per cent, setting a new benchmark for sustainable construction across the Port of Brisbane.”
DSV Air & Sea Oceania Managing Director, Paul Thomson said, “This fantastic new facility escalates DSV to the leading provider in the Queensland logistics market. Its close proximity to the port entrance will enable both efficient and cost-effective freight handling between our facility and the port.
“Our Project and Mining Supply services will be second to none with significant laydown area for out of gauge and heavy equipment handling. Our piece check and order management IT solutions together, with significant security investments, allow a best-in-class offering to our existing and future customers.
“The facility will be handling import/export of containers and airfreight products on behalf of DSV’s existing customers as well as loading our regular FAK services to Papua New Guinea and other South Asia destinations.”
Paul concluded: “It has been a very enjoyable experience collaborating with the PBPL on this purpose built, environmentally sustainable, and operationally efficient complex.”
