Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd (PBPL) is welcoming global logistics and supply chain operator, MEDLOG, to the Port, signing a 30-year lease on a 7.3ha site on Fisherman Islands and supporting its business expansion into Queensland.
When operational, the new facility will be one of the world’s most automated container parks, incorporating high-end technology to deliver world-class standards in terms of operation and safety.
PBPL will develop the site to MEDLOG’s specific requirements for the storage and operations of both empty and fully laden containers. The facility is expected to be operational by the third quarter of 2022. As is standard in all new PBPL property developments, it will also include sustainable design elements including a solar installation and use of low carbon concrete.
PBPL CEO, Neil Stephens, welcomed MEDLOG to the Port of Brisbane.
“MEDLOG’s expansion into Queensland and its new home at Port of Brisbane speaks volumes about its confidence in the Port being the right place to support its long-term growth,” said Mr Stephens.
“Port of Brisbane is on a journey to become Australia’s premier port and logistics hub; welcoming industry leaders such as MEDLOG plays a key role in ensuring the Port of Brisbane achieves this vision and continues to deliver for the Queensland economy and community well into the future.”
