MegaTrans is shifting into a higher gear, welcoming the International Cargo Handling Coordination Association (ICHCA) Australia as an official Industry Partner for the upcoming 2026 event.
A recognised authority in cargo handling, ICHCA Australia brings deep expertise across ports, terminals, intermodal operations and the wider supply chain. Its involvement with MegaTrans reinforces the event’s commitment to advancing best practice in safety, operational performance and workforce capability across road, rail, maritime and logistics.
“Over the past five years, technology has transformed cargo handling, with innovations in automation, real-time tracking, and analytics,” ICHCA Australia Chair Scott McKay says.
“At the same time the profile of freight as we decarbonise with electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, and the trade in more dangerous and hazardous cargo such as critical minerals.
“The increased awareness of the risks of explosions and fires on vessel and in terminals, and more stringent safety regulations, require more collaboration between stakeholders.
“MegaTrans provides an opportunity where these innovations, risks and regulations can be discussed as we make sense of their impacts on trade.”
Prime Creative Media, organisers of MegaTrans, says the partnership aligns strongly with the event’s mission to connect industry leaders, innovators and decision makers across the entire supply chain.
“ICHCA Australia’s reputation in cargo handling safety and operational excellence makes them a natural partner for MegaTrans,” General Manager – Events at Prime Creative Media Siobhan Rocks says.
“Having ICHCA Australia involved elevates the discussion around cargo safety, risk management and efficiency at a time when the industry is navigating growing demand and operational complexity.”
MegaTrans brings together suppliers, operators, fleet managers, logistics professionals and more to explore solutions shaping the future of freight, logistics and transport. The addition of ICHCA Australia as an official industry partner further strengthens the event’s position as a must-attend forum for the sector.
MegaTrans will take place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on September 16 to 17, 2026, delivering an extensive exhibition alongside a high-level conference program focused on innovation, safety and sustainability across transport and logistics.
