Premier Gateways - Serving World Markets
The major gateway cities of the world have developed outstanding facilities to cope with increasing global movement of passengers and cargo. In many cases they are rapidly developing the infrastructure, amenities and services needed to cater for the expected wave of demand over the next twenty years.
A Premier Gateway is a combination of port, airport, road and rail infrastructure in a location which can rightfully claim to be a major entry point for freight and passengers into a country or region, as well as serving the local market. Many major cities are in this category and a number of less populous areas that have world-class facilities can also be considered ‘Premier’. On this site, we feature such gateways.
Melbourne, Australia
Premier Gateway Guides focuses on Melbourne, premier freight gateway to Australasia. In many ways, Melbourne is a model premier gateway. Development of the freight infrastructure has been driven by a 21st century vision, detailed strategic planning and serious commitment by the government. The freight and logistics industry in Melbourne has worked together to address the need to move an escalating volume of freight efficiently, cost-effectively and sustainably.
