Page 3: Port of Brisbane BUSINESS REVIEW · 2018-09-21 · them safely resume operations following natural disasters. The Port’s long-standing commitment to strong environmental management

Together with the Executive Team, we take our responsibility to sustainably grow and develop the Port very seriously, in the best interests of our community and the Queensland economy. This is led by prioritising health and safety, a commitment to customers and stakeholders, and strong environmental management.

Trade growth has continued on a positive trajectory, led by container volumes – further demonstrating the Port’s resilience and diverse trade base. As trade has grown, so too has the port community, with a number of new businesses welcomed during the year.

We remain focused on the Port’s role as a supply chain enabler and continue to open up access by road, rail and sea. We have made great progress – vastly improving the road network with the near-completion of the Port Drive Upgrade and optimising the navigational channel using world-leading technology.

Securing dedicated freight rail access to the Port remains a high priority and together with the Executive Team, we are advocating at all levels of government and industry to ensure this remains part of the national infrastructure conversation. Work to improve supply chain connectivity continues and over the next five years, the Board has committed over $550 million to capital expenditure projects, including investment that will deliver critical new infrastructure to support the long-term growth of key industries in Queensland, such as cruise.

In a highly competitive global market, we are also exploring the opportunities presented by technology and innovation. Collaborating with industry and like-minded partners has delivered substantial benefits to the port community, and we continue to actively seek out opportunities to unlock supply chain value, improve productivity outcomes for customers, and help position Port of Brisbane strongly for the future.

On behalf of the Board, I wish to thank Roy Cummins, Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Team, and all employees for their drive and dedication as we manage and grow the Port for Queensland, and congratulate the entire team on its outstanding achievement as Australia’s Port of the Year.

Jerry Maycock, Chairman

While proud of these achievements, we know they are a result of the ongoing support of our customers and stakeholders and on behalf of PBPL and the Board, I thank you.

The hard work extends to safety, which we continue to prioritise above all else. This is led by our collaboration with customers and stakeholders, particularly through working groups and PBPL’s annual Safety 1 Forum.

The Port of Brisbane recorded positive FY18 trade results, with overall trade volumes increasing to 33.3 million tonnes, led by containers which grew 10.2% to reach 1.35 million TEUs.

Customers and stakeholders are now benefitting from a number of major investments undertaken to enhance the Port’s safety, efficiency and productivity. These include major progress on our $110 million Port Drive Upgrade project as well as full implementation of NCOS Online, our world-class channel optimisation technology. We also continue to progress works on the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal. We have ramped up our advocacy for a dedicated freight rail connection between the Port and Inland Rail, and will play a leading role in the industry-led working group advising the State and Federal Government’s study into ‘freight rail links’ to the Port. We are also looking towards the digital future – a key initiative is our partnership with industry to explore the feasibility of a Trade Community System (currently at Proof of Concept stage).

Extending well beyond our geographic boundaries, our world-class hydrographic surveying and marine crews continue to provide critical support services to authorities and other ports all along Queensland’s coast, at times helping them safely resume operations following natural disasters.

The Port’s long-standing commitment to strong environmental management continues to evolve, with work underway to formalise an approach to sustainability in line with global standards.

Our people are our greatest asset, and we are prioritising their development and wellbeing by investing in our working environments and introducing talent programs to create opportunities for existing and new employees alike.

I would like to thank the Board and Executive Team for their vision, strategic direction and support throughout the year. And congratulations and thank you to our committed employees who are key to our success in sustainably growing the Port for Queensland.

Roy Cummins, Chief Executive Officer

About the Port of Brisbane

Port of Brisbane operates in an area of high environmental significance adjacent to Moreton Bay at the mouth of the Brisbane River. Our operations are underpinned by an internationally accredited Environmental Management System, and we have a strong record of balancing our environmental responsibilities with sustainable trade growth.

The Port is managed and developed by the Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd (PBPL) under 99-year leases from the Queensland Government.

Privatised in 2010, PBPL is owned by the APH consortium (formerly known as Q Port Holdings consortium), comprising four of the world’s largest and most experienced infrastructure investors:

• QIC Global Infrastructure on behalf of its managed funds

• IFM Investors

• Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec

• Tawreed Investments Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

The Port of Brisbane is a cornerstone of the Queensland economy, handling around $50 billion in international trade annually . Brisbane is also Australia’s largest capital city port – with a 1860 hectare (ha) footprint that includes 8200 metres of quayline, 30 operating berths and 693 ha of green space . The ongoing development of the 230 ha Future Port Expansion Area provides further room to grow .

Our journey to lead the way

PBPL has an ambitious vision – for the Port of Brisbane to be Australia’s leading Port: Here for the future.As a major contributor to the Queensland economy, we have a responsibility to grow and develop the Port sustainably over the long-term. A key part of this is working with our customers and stakeholders to help them be more efficient, grow their businesses, employ more people, and support the community.

We work together in an environment that constantly brings new disrupters, new innovations and technologies and, ultimately, new opportunities. Together, we form part of an ecosystem that’s helping Queensland’s economy grow.

As a team, we have developed five business aspirations that help to guide how we develop and manage one of the state’s most important infrastructure assets.

Along with PBPL’s vision and values, these aspirations are embedded into the way we work – our operations, projects and planning – and will help the Port of Brisbane continue to deliver strong economic, environmental and community outcomes for our customers and for Queensland more broadly.

Australia’s Port of the YearIn November 2017, Port of Brisbane was named the Port of the Year at the Australian Shipping & Maritime Industry Awards.

The award recognised excellence in specific development projects, technical innovation, operational efficiency and commercial successes.

Port of Brisbane’s strong trade growth was highlighted as was our commitment to health and safety – particularly PBPL’s annual Safety 1 Forum attended by 270 port tenants in August 2017.

There was a focus on our Offsite Stormwater Treatment project in the Lockyer Valley and our three-year, $2 million partnership with The University of Queensland.

The award also recognised the efforts of our world-class hydrographic surveyors and marine crews as well as the work we are doing to build, plan and advocate for the infrastructure needed to help our customers and the Port continue to grow.

Customer ExemplarAlso in 2017, The University of Sydney’s ‘Better Infrastructure Initiative’ recognised Port of Brisbane as a National Exemplar in Customer Stewardship, one of only eight Australian infrastructure businesses nationwide, and the only port.

PBPL was recognised for its consultation and collaboration with customers throughout the decision-making process, and for its on-going service delivery.

In part, this included our work with stakeholders to plan and deliver infrastructure that supports long-term growth, such as the Port Drive Upgrade. It also included our investment in innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers and the changing dynamics of the ports and logistics industry, a highlight being the design and implementation of NCOS Online.

PBPL was also recognised for maintaining strong links within the community and working collaboratively with all levels of government to seek good infrastructure outcomes.

Sustainability – our commitment

We are charting a course to grow and develop the Port of Brisbane in a sustainable manner .

This year, we have made significant progress towards developing a sustainability framework for the business that aligns to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG).

Together with sustainability experts, we have established an employee working group to understand how our existing practices, processes and operations align with sustainability principles and how strongly they are embedded into our day-to-day business and long-term planning.

The work undertaken to date has determined that PBPL is well placed in terms of our sustainability journey and in 2018/19, we will develop a strategy to formalise our approach to sustainability and deliver value to the company and our customers.

Our people

At Port of Brisbane, we recognise it’s our people who make us stand out . With a small and diverse team of 185 spanning a wide range of technical, commercial and operational disciplines, we’re uniquely positioned to bring together diverse minds to challenge the status quo and look for leading solutions to deliver value for our customers and stakeholders.

An engaging cultureOur unique culture is shaped by our people – their passion, pride and enthusiasm for what they do, and for our organisation. Almost 90 per cent of our people voluntarily participated in our annual Employee Opinion Survey, reporting an overall engagement rating of 72 per cent. Our employees report a strong sense of pride, job satisfaction, as well as believing in the direction of our organisation.

Growing talentEmployee growth continued to be a strong focus throughout 2017/18, with a suite of initiatives delivering new and challenging experiences for staff. During the year, over 10% of our people were provided with growth opportunities through internal promotion, secondments, role redesign, or involvement in our Strategy and Innovation think tank.

This year we also launched LEAD, which empowers our current and emerging leaders to strive for leadership excellence, through networking and exposure to thought-provoking best practice frameworks.

Valuing diversity and inclusionPBPL values the diversity of its employees, customers and other stakeholders. This diversity enables our organisation to better understand the needs of the customers and stakeholders we engage with every day.

This year we launched our Diversity and Inclusion Policy, which aims to:

• attract, recruit and retain a diverse workforce

• develop inclusive and empowered employees

• build partnerships and programs to encourage greater diversity across our organisation.

A key initiative included the launch of our Cadetship program, which encourages women to embark on a career in the maritime industry through a 24-month, entry-level position within our marine team. Our first Open Day was held at the Operations Base in June, attracting women from diverse backgrounds and experiences interested in a marine career with PBPL.

Collaboration spaceIn June 2018, Level 5 of the Port Office was transformed into a new ‘collaboration zone’ for employees.

Designed to encourage greater interaction between employees in different business units and ‘out of the box’ thinking, it incorporates the latest in technology with modern workspace design, and a nod to our organisation’s values and rich history.

Trade overview

PBPL’s Trade and Logistics team work with customers to help grow trade for Queensland and facilitate improvements in supply chain logistics .

Strong activity in South-east Queensland’s (SEQ) residential construction sector continued, reflected in increased volumes of imported containers. The construction and furnishing of new SEQ dwellings, coupled with steady regional population growth, supported a 12.4% increase in import container volumes to 619,790 TEU, meeting consumer demand for building products, furniture, white goods and electrical goods.

The Port also saw an increase in products for the renewable energy industry, especially containerised solar panels and break-bulk wind-farms. Export container volumes increased marginally by 1.4% in 2017/18 to 362,543 TEU, after a difficult year for wheat and chickpeas, though cotton and cotton seed again increased on the previous year.

The graphs overleaf show overall containerised and non-containerised tonnages.

While the majority of non-containerised sectors experienced good growth during 2017/18, results were mixed for others.

Total exports (full)

362,543 TEUs

Total imports (full)

619,790 TEUs

Wood chip and fertiliser (bulk cargo) tonnages increased 10.8% and 22.8% respectively, while bulk cereal exports fell notably against the previous year due to challenging growing conditions throughout much of our hinterland, particularly over the winter cropping period.

Coal exports were again largely consistent with the previous year while cement products improved 14.1%, echoing SEQ construction delivery. Motor vehicle imports increased 9.2% on lower than average volumes achieved in 2016/17, despite an overall flat level of new car sales in Queensland during the year.

In the wet-bulk sector, crude and refined oil imports were mostly similar with the previous year, once again following consistent demand from industry and the private sector.

During 2017/18, Port of Brisbane saw an uplift in trade volumes connected to Queensland’s renewable energy sector.

Coopers Gap Wind Farm

The first vessels laden with componentry for AGL’s Coopers Gap Wind Farm located north of Dalby – Australia’s largest wind farm project – began arriving at the Port during March and April 2018, unloading tower sections and blades for the project. Componentry for the 123 turbine wind farm is being imported by approximately 20 break-bulk ships. It will be stored at the Port before being trucked to the site.

Solar farm projects

Materials for solar farm projects based in SEQ and the Darling Downs region are typically handled through the Port of Brisbane in containers. However during 2017/18, the Port also handled a high number of containers for projects in central and northern Queensland, which reached their final destinations by rail and road.

Within the Port’s immediate catchment, there are currently five solar farms under construction and another 15 farms proposed for construction in the near future (as at May 2018). This is in addition to other solar farms, both under construction and proposed, across central and northern Queensland and northern New South Wales.

Landside efficiencyImproving landside efficiency is a key priority for PBPL, and we work with a range of stakeholders to achieve this including stevedores, logistics companies, tenants and regulators.

More Productive Super B-Double at the PortOver the last 12 months a more productive version of the four-TEU Super B Double has started operating on port roads. Operating at a maximum gross mass of 117 tonnes, the new heavy vehicle provides an 8% increase in payload compared with existing Super B Doubles, which operate at a maximum gross mass of 109 tonnes.

Two operators and tenants, Chalmers Industries and Silk Logistics, are now operating these vehicles on port roads (excluding the Lucinda Drive Bridge). A comprehensive safety and performance assessment of the vehicles was undertaken before being approved to operate on Port roads.

As part of our efforts to facilitate productivity improvements for our customers and stakeholders, PBPL identified specific design requirements that may allow these and existing Super B double vehicles to access the Lucinda Drive Bridge. While the new vehicles and many existing ones meet these design requirements, PBPL will undertake further analysis in 2018/19 to confirm if access to the Lucinda Drive Bridge can be safely introduced.

We will continue to update key stakeholders, including the Landside Logistics Forum, as we progress this work.

Property and planning

Port of Brisbane is no longer south-east Queensland’s best kept industrial property secret, with significant development and leasing activity during the year .The Port is home to more than 70 businesses employing thousands of people across industrial, transport, marine infrastructure and retail/commercial operations.

Port West boomingInterest in PBPL’s Port West precinct at Lytton has surged, with two major property deals announced in March 2018.

Construction has commenced at Steelforce’s 36,000sqm site at 7 Radar Street with plans for a 15,000sqm warehouse along with 1,000sqm of office space which will form an entry statement for the precinct. The new facility will enable Steelforce to expand and cater for future growth.

Port of Brisbane is also welcoming a new customer to the port community, Queensland Glass, with construction underway at the company’s 15,400sqm site next door at 8 Radar Street with plans for a 7,000sqm manufacturing and assembly plant, and 600sqm office.

We worked closely with both businesses and their agents to identify the best sites and the best designs for the new facilities to help these businesses invest and grow.

Both facilities are being delivered by PBPL.

Short-term leasing – growth in demand PBPL’s short-term leasing sites have experienced major growth due to high demand from wind farm projects, imported car volumes, and containerised log exports. Demand has come from both new and existing customers, and our Property Team has been pleased to have been able to respond to and assist our customers.

Silk and Visa Logistics – supporting growthDuring the year, our Property Team worked with Silk Contract Logistics and Visa Global Logistics to support their growth plans.

Following the business acquisition of Container Swing Lift by Silk Contract Logistics in Brisbane – and the subsequent addition of trailing equipment, new vehicles and 70 employees to their operations – our team worked with Silk to identify an additional 56,500sqm site to support the company’s expansion. Located on Fisherman Island, the site comprises a 15,000sqm warehouse, 20,000sqm container hardstand and around 5,000sqm of trailer storage.

Working closely with Visa Global Logistics, PBPL has also developed an additional 6,637sqm of container-rated hardstand adjacent to their existing facility, supporting the growth of one of Australia’s largest privately owned international freight forwarding companies.

Hydrographic solutions and marine services

PBPL’s Hydrographic Solutions and Marine Teams work together to maintain safe navigable depths of the Port’s 90km shipping channel for the thousands of vessels accessing it every year .Together, our highly experienced teams operate a fleet of dedicated inshore and coastal surveying vessels, undertaking hundreds of surveys annually using state-of-the-art seabed mapping and terrestrial laser systems.

Our marine operations are supported by a fleet of dredgers and support craft, led by the TSHD Brisbane, the largest dredger of its type based in Australia. The TSHD Brisbane is equipped with state-of-the-art automation for controls and navigation, and works in accordance with the latest environmental standards.

Additional inner anchorage locations under considerationPBPL is working closely with Maritime Safety Queensland to investigate potential additional inner Moreton Bay anchorage locations, which will further boost customer flexibility.

The surveying work involves using multibeam technology to achieve 100% seabed coverage of the areas under consideration, together with magnetometer and gradiometer surveys to detect underwater objects. Safety remains the focus, with the work considering all possible tide scenarios and ensuring potential locations have sufficient water to support 24-hour operations.

The additional locations will help optimise port usage by allowing a greater number of vessels to wait close to the Port in the safe harbour, which also allows additional transit windows to be made available in the approach channel for shipping. Investigations are continuing, with the Harbour Master to determine the optimum locations of the new inner Moreton Bay anchorages.

Natural disaster recovery assistanceDuring 2017/18, PBPL provided hydrographic surveying and marine expertise to a number of Queensland ports impacted by natural disasters including Tropical Cyclones Nora and Iris.

Our quick-response team mobilised surveyors, vessels and surveying equipment to help port authorities rapidly understand impacts to their marine infrastructure and to help re-open parts of the ports as quickly and as safely as possible.

18 HYDROGRAPHIC SOLUTIONS AND MARINE SERVICES

Page 21: Port of Brisbane BUSINESS REVIEW · 2018-09-21 · them safely resume operations following natural disasters. The Port’s long-standing commitment to strong environmental management

We are also working closely with a small number of these ports to help build internal capacity and ensure all work meets ‘Class A’ standards for hydrographic surveying in Queensland waters, as regulated by Maritime Safety Queensland.

Supporting local councilsThroughout the year, PBPL completed a significant number of investigation and monitoring surveys for local and regional councils, to support maintenance and construction activities and to assist with the safe navigation of canals and other waterways.

This included both the removal of potential navigational-hazard ‘high spots’ within canal systems and the relocation of excess material to adjacent ‘low-spots’ as required. The work also included environmental monitoring and hydrographic surveying.

PBPL has also been awarded the contract to provide hydrographic survey support for the Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Project for the Sunshine Coast Regional Council and dredging contractor. To date, we have completed a number of hydrographic surveys for vessel safety and the team will undertake regular progress, monitoring and compliance surveys throughout the project.

Port of KarumbaIn late-April 2018, PBPL’s hydrographic surveyors and marine crews completed the mobilisation and pre-dredge surveys of the entire access channel into the Port of Karumba, in the south-east corner of the Gulf of Carpentaria.

PBPL’s high-tech multibeam vessel, the Investigator, together with an extensive array of equipment, was trucked up to Karumba from Brisbane, enabling the team to be fully independent throughout the campaign, which was necessary in such an isolated area.

In early-May the TSHD Brisbane, together with a bed levelling support vessel, commenced the dredging maintenance campaign for the Port of Karumba – a vital transport and shipping node for remote northern Queensland.

Building for the future

Over the next five years, PBPL is investing over $550 million in infrastructure projects and improvements to support the Port’s long-term growth and continue to improve safety, access and efficiency.Port Drive Upgrade approaching completion During 2017/18, major progress was made on the $110 million Port Drive Upgrade. The project is approaching completion following two years of planning and design followed by two years of major construction to make Port of Brisbane roads safer and more efficient, well ahead of capacity demand.

The works are being delivered by Seymour Whyte Constructions, with its designer, Arup.

PBPL marked the project’s substantial completion in August 2018, with Practical Completion anticipated in September 2018. The work will play a vital role in future-proofing port roads and benefitting all users for decades to come.

Thank you to our customers and stakeholdersThe significant progress made by the project has been made possible by the cooperation and understanding of our visitors, customers and project stakeholders while the works are underway.

The complexity of the works has impacted all of our customers and road users, and requires the ongoing support of many key project stakeholders. In particular, PBPL would like to thank the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) and the Queensland Police Service for their ongoing support.

Major road improvementsThe scope of the works is significant and includes:

• duplication of 4.2 kilometres of Port Drive with a centre-median concrete barrier for added safety

• construction of a new four-lane overpass over the Kite Street roundabout

• connection of Tanker Street and Osprey Drive and dedicated access for iOR

• improvement works around the entry/exit to Port Gate via Kite Street

• duplication of Lucinda Drive Bridge, including improving the access on the existing bridge

• construction of a dedicated (entry/exit) access road to the Whyte Island boat ramp

• construction of a new shared path (from the Port of Brisbane Motorway to the Caltex service station).

A sustainable and innovative projectThe Port Drive Upgrade has received an ‘Excellent’ rating for its design from the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia – the country’s peak body for advancing sustainability outcomes in infrastructure, and is progressing well towards achieving the same rating for ‘As Constructed’.

The project includes a number of ‘Australian first’ and ‘Queensland first’ innovations including the country’s longest pre-cast, pre-stressed concrete bridge girders placed at Lucinda Drive Bridge in September 2017. Known as ‘Super I Girders’, these 46 metre long concrete girders have also been approved by TMR for wider use in Queensland. The girders were an important safety innovation – spanning the existing rail corridor and eliminating the need to work within the corridor either during construction or future maintenance.

Construction has also included the largest placement of EME2 asphalt on a road project in the country, and incorporates the Port of Brisbane’s Offsite Stormwater Treatment into the design.

Building for the future (continued)

Brisbane International Cruise Terminal works underwayIt’s full steam ahead for Australia’s newest cruise facility, with works well underway for the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal (BICT).

Due for completion in the second quarter of 2020, the BICT will be south-east Queensland’s only dedicated facility able to accommodate mega cruise ships longer than 270 metres – vital to support the cruise industry’s future growth. The BICT will become a gateway to the richness of the region and provide a vital boost to Queensland’s tourism industry.

Partnership with industryIn June, Port of Brisbane finalised a commercial agreement with Carnival Australia with full ACCC authorisation.

The agreement includes granting Carnival 100 foundation berthing days per year for 15 years. It provides Carnival the infrastructure it needs to base larger vessels in Brisbane.

It also provides Port of Brisbane the commercial surety required to invest in the construction of the facility, which will serve the needs of all cruise lines as a common-user facility.

Preparing for constructionGround improvement works commenced in November 2017. As part of the works, the TSHD Brisbane progressively placed 300,000 cubic metres of sand on the site as part of the filling and surcharging required ahead of construction.

Creating a seamless passenger experience The design is being undertaken by Arup and Arkhefield, and is focused on creating a positive and seamless experience for cruise passengers while they are at the terminal and as they embark and disembark their cruise vessels.

Engaging with project stakeholders

The BICT team has engaged with project stakeholders throughout the year, including site neighbours, local and state governments, the cruise and tourism industries, and local residents.

Securing the future of freight railSecuring long-term dedicated freight rail access to the Port of Brisbane remains one of PBPL’s highest strategic priorities. Over the last 12 months, we have ramped up our advocacy across all levels of government and industry for the Port to be connected to the Inland Rail project – which it currently does not do effectively, despite what we are often told.

This advocacy has contributed to the establishment of the $1.5 million, joint state-federal study into ‘rail freight links’ to the Port of Brisbane.

This is a crucial piece of work that should allow all stakeholders to reach consensus on a corridor for a dedicated freight rail connection.

The Port of Brisbane has been invited to play a key role in this study as a member of its working group, which also includes the Department of Transport and Main Roads, Australian Rail Track Corporation, Brisbane City Council, Queensland Rail and the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority.

Some key drivers behind the establishment of the study include the parallel progress of the Inland Rail and Cross River Rail projects, as well as the acknowledgment of the alarming modal share imbalance of containerised cargo that flows through the Port, with just 2.5% arriving on rail.

The progress made to date has been a direct result of the ongoing support and advocacy by customers, industry and stakeholders as we all work together for a long-term rail solution that will ultimately deliver better outcomes for Queensland’s economy and community.

By working closely with customers, industry and like-minded partners, PBPL is unlocking supply chain value and harnessing new opportunities . We continue to embed innovation across the business, invest in technology and position the port well for a digital future .

Optimising the channelLive at the Port of Brisbane since 1 August 2017, NCOS Online is the world’s first physics-based vessel operability tool incorporating world-leading under keel clearance technology.

Our Operations, Engineering and Hydrographic Surveying teams worked collaboratively with DHI Australia, Maritime Safety Queensland and Brisbane Marine Pilots to develop the technology, using the Port’s 90km navigational channel as a ‘living laboratory’.

The highly sophisticated technology uses all available environmental and shipping data to predict vessel behaviour, including under keel clearance, with the same high level of accuracy as a Full Mission Bridge Ship Simulator. Specifically, it enables PBPL and the Harbour Master to predict how a ship will move, roll and pitch in any conditions – ultimately providing a precise understanding of under keel clearance at all times.

It has provided our customers with greater scheduling flexibility, allowing them to bring in larger and deeper draft vessels carrying more cargo and delivering significant cost and efficiency benefits. This is achieved without compromising safety whilst minimising our dredging requirements – NCOS Online enables the Port to maximise efficiencies for our customers while protecting the environment we operate in.

Investing in innovation

24 INVESTING IN INNOVATION

Page 27: Port of Brisbane BUSINESS REVIEW · 2018-09-21 · them safely resume operations following natural disasters. The Port’s long-standing commitment to strong environmental management

Multiple award-winning projectNCOS Online has received significant national and international industry recognition including the Dredging and Port Construction Innovation Support Services Award held in London in November 2017 and the Smart Infrastructure Award from Infrastructure Partnerships Australia in May 2018.

Setting new recordsIn October 2017, NCOS Online helped achieve another milestone, enabling the 9500TEU and 347 metre long Susan Maersk to call at the Port – the largest container ship to ever visit Australia.

PBPL’s operational team worked closely with Maritime Safety Queensland, Brisbane Marine Pilots, Patrick Terminal, and the tug operators to facilitate the visit.

The arrival was testament to the technology’s capability, and is a demonstration of PBPL’s commitment to increasing the capacity of the port to handle larger vessels.

New tools to revolutionise tradeThe Port of Brisbane, PwC Australia and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry have partnered to develop a Trade Community System proof of concept to help maximise Australia’s competitiveness in the global supply chain.

The partnership has been working closely with importers, exporters and service providers in supply chains to develop a platform that will link key supply chain information and ensure trust in the information by using blockchain technology and removing complexity as a result.

Unveiled to more than 100 stakeholders at a showcase in May 2018, the Trade Community System will be a platform where everyone involved in international trade supply chains can securely share their information to drive productivity and service innovation through trusted end-to-end visibility of the supply chain.

Currently, the estimated cost of inefficiency across export supply chains adds as much as $450 in excess costs for each container. The Trade Community System offers an opportunity to potentially reduce some excess costs.

Treating stormwater upstreamOur award-winning Offsite Stormwater Treatment works continue to be rolled out in the Lockyer Valley, with an additional 850 metres of degraded creek beds rehabilitated during the year.

The additional works are located upstream from the works completed as part of the Pilot, and take the total rehabilitation to 1.7km. This is delivering superior environmental outcomes – preventing, on average, 8,670 tonnes of sediment from entering the catchment and ultimately reaching Moreton Bay each year, where the equivalent investment in onsite stormwater controls would only prevent 46 tonnes of sediment.

We will invest further in Offsite Stormwater Treatment next financial year, as part of stormwater management plans for major infrastructure projects at the Port including the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal. Cumulatively, over 12,000 tonnes of sediment will be prevented from entering the catchment – including the Brisbane River and ultimately Moreton Bay – every year.

Health, safety and wellbeing

Above all else, PBPL prioritises the health, safety and wellbeing of its people, and all who work at or visit the port . Road safetyImproving road safety remains at the top of our agenda. We are working with our customers, industry and government partners to address this issue both in terms of infrastructure and engagement.

Central to our work is our investment in the Port Drive Upgrade, which will significantly boost safety on port roads. During construction, both the Contractor, Seymour Whyte, and PBPL worked tirelessly to reinforce the importance of road safety throughout the construction site.

In August 2018, PBPL will again host the annual Safety 1 Forum. Open to all port customers and industry partners, the forum will focus on road safety and is a chance to continue the port-wide conversation about how we can improve it.

case studyDeveloping a unique WHS solution to a unique problem

The Frank Wilson is a ‘pusher tug’ vessel that works with the Ken Harvey dredge as well as the Samson and Hercules barges as part of PBPL’s marine operations, requiring experienced crew to move between the Frank Wilson and the two barges.

After identifying a significant ‘slip and trip’ risk associated with this activity, a group was established to identify, develop and trial a solution to eliminate the risk and improve the safety of the crew.

Following extensive consultation and specialist design support, PBPL’s Marine Crew and Mechanical Team, together with the Health and Safety Team, developed the Safe Access Adjustable Stairs that is permanently fixed to the Frank Wilson and extends safely between the two vessels. Implemented in November 2017, the ladder has successfully eliminated the risk.

Our journey towards Target Zero Launched in 2017, Target Zero is an employee-wide strategy seeking to achieve zero landside emissions, zero waste to landfill and zero potable water use (supplied water) from PBPL activities by 2030.

As we work towards fully embedding Target Zero across our worksites, we have successfully introduced a number of initiatives including reusable Keep Cups in the Port Café to minimise waste as well as a ‘sustainability hub’ enabling employees to recycle batteries, phones, plastic bags and other products.

Outcomes have been very positive to date, with the percentage of waste recycled across PBPL doubling. In fact since 2013, PBPL’s total waste has decreased by almost 50%.

Ship waste recycling trial Throughout June 2018, PBPL supported the Australian Maritime Safety Authority’s pilot program to investigate the feasibility of recycling garbage from international ships. Port of Brisbane was one of two sites selected – the other was the Port of Hay Point in central Queensland.

The pilot program aims to make it easier for international ships to dispose of their garbage and recyclables in the right way, while ensuring biosecurity risks are managed and helping to reduce the amount of recyclables that end up in landfill.

Pest portalPBPL has developed a field-based pest portal to identify potential pest species that may enter Queensland via the Port of Brisbane.

Developed with the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR), the portal can be used by all Port tenants. It provides information on 36 high risk pest animals and plants, and contains detailed profiles and photos to make pests easier to identify. Users can also upload images and information directly to PBPL via the portal, who pass the information onto DAWR. The pest portal is available on our website.

Reef Ambassador ProgramThis year, PBPL and Reef Check joined forces to monitor the health of local coral around the Port and to support training for Reef Check’s local Reef Ambassadors.

Reef Check is an environmental charity dedicated to engaging the community in hands-on reef research, education and conservation. They have monitored south-east Queensland reefs for the last 10 years and currently have more than 20 long-term monitoring stations across the region.

Our inaugural coral monitoring activities commenced in December 2017 and will be undertaken twice annually, in summer and winter. The results to date, whilst preliminary, illustrate both moderate diversity and density of corals on the inshore islands adjacent to the Port.

PBPL is proud to support wide-ranging projects and initiatives that positively impact the local and regional community .Community Consultative CommitteeThis year PBPL’s Community Consultative Committee (CCC) welcomed four new members and continued its great work supporting projects within the local community. Part of their work involves members identifying and recommending local initiatives the Committee can support. During the year, the CCC approved $15,000 to help fund valuable local initiatives including Wynnum State High School’s Scholarship Fund, Sailability Bayside’s radio program, and the PCYC Graffiti Trailer.

$100,000 in community grant funding In 2017/18, PBPL provided $100,000 in community grant funding to 14 local and regional not-for-profit organisations. The annual funding supported initiatives such as the Ronald McDonald House Adopt-A-Room, which provides a home away from home for families with a seriously ill child undergoing specialist paediatric care, and Salt Water Murris Quandamooka to support Jandai language revitalisation.

Getting behind farming communities PBPL was proud to support Rural Aid Australia as our employee charity for 2017/18. Employees got behind the charity with a range of fundraising initiatives including a high-tea, raffles and free dress Friday to raise money for Rural Aid’s ‘Buy a Bale’ program. The team also rolled up their sleeves to work on a farm for a day in the Lockyer Valley and presented local Mt Sylvia State School students with instruments for their music program.

Continuing our long-term partnerships We’re continuing to support a number of organisations who support the broader Queensland community.

We continued to work with The Smith Family, supporting its iTrack mentoring program, provided financial and on-water race support for the annual Duck Race as part of the PA Research Foundation’s Stop Cancer campaign, and commenced a new partnership with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation.

Industry supportThis year, PBPL continued to support a range of key industry groups as we advocate and raise awareness of major supply chain challenges and other issues important to our customers and stakeholders. We have also provided financial and in-kind support for industry associations, regional development and peak body associations, as well as Brisbane business awards.
