Aurizon also provides transport solutions to the cotton industry, in the form of fixed-consist train services. Aurizon provides rail line-haul, container terminal,and other value-adding services to the shipping industry, importers, and exporters. This retail operation moves ISO shipping containers to and from ports intrastate. Pacific National can provide services to and from the Port of Brisbane to and from interstate locations. All Pacific National services can be linked with QR National services and are designed to carry containerised product, in either 6.1m or 12.2m containers. Road Access Port Connect The $385 million upgrade to the Port of Brisbane Motorway (PoBM) was officially opened in early 2013 by the Queensland Government, eight months ahead of schedule. The vital piece of infrastructure was of high importance in order to guarantee more reliable road access to the Port of Brisbane. The project has delivered three kilometres of new motorway lanes between Lindum Road and Port Drive, a duplication and upgrade of the existing motorway, a new overpass between Pritchard Street and Lytton Road as well as five new signalised intersections, adjacent to the motorway. The Port of Brisbane Motorway upgrade project has also made Pritchard Street a permanent cul-de-sac, eliminating the 90 degree bend for port bound traffic. The project was designed and constructed by the BMD Seymour Whyte Joint Venture. BMT The BMT is the interface between rail, road and the container terminals at the Port of Brisbane. The integration of these transport modes, a dualgauge rail link and the location of the BMT behind the container terminals enable the movement of large volumes of interstate and intrastate cargo in and out of the port by rail. The BMT can also offer interim depot solutions for import and export cargo (i.e., providing storage for import containers and pre-receiving containers for export). For enquiries, go to http://webapps.portbris.com.au Weighbridge Port users have access to a 24 hour automated truck weighbridge located at the BMT. The weighbridge provides auditable records of a vehicle’s weight, including the total gross weight of the vehicle and the weights for each individual axle group. The weighbridge assists with legislative requirements like Container Weight Declarations and helps facilitate compliance with Chain of Responsibility legislation. The weighbridge is located at 52 Port Drive. For more information on the weighbridge, go to www.portbris.com.au/TradeLogistics/Weighbridge Shipping Handbook 2013/14 | 7
