"The A$60m investment in new crane infrastructure follows two major contract wins for DP World Australia."

DP World Australia chief operations officer Max Kruse said: “The A$60m investment in new crane infrastructure follows two major contract wins for DP World Australia’s: the A3 consortium’s decision to award seven of nine port calls on the Asia to Australia service, and the return of Swire Shipping’s Papua New Guinea and Pacific Islands service to our Brisbane and Sydney terminals.

“We’re investing now for future growth.”
