Sea Freight Council of Queensland expands responsibilities as part of changes that include a new name for the organisation
The Sea Freight Council of Queensland will expand its responsibilities as part of a raft of changes that include a new name for the organisation.
The group will now be known as the Queensland Multimodal Freight Council (QMFC) following a review into its operations, composition, constitution and agenda.
The decision to change the name is designed to allow the Council to help the freight industry meet the challenges of the next ten years.
This includes incorporating representatives from across a wide range of transport and logistics industries as well as cargo interests but will also include interests from the aviation sector.
