The Port of Bundaberg
It's been many years since a transport business has become available at the Port of Bundaberg. This one has bulk storage options and is within 400m to the wharf with its multi use conveyor.
The 250m Multiuse Conveyor loads upto 2,000 tonnes of minerals, sands and grains per hour. This new facility has created increased demand for access to the Port and presents the perfect opportunity for you to secure excellent future transport contracts as well as maintaining existing contracts.
It should be noted that the Port of Bundaberg is Australia's most northern port below the cyclone line and is within 1000 nautical miles of the Pacific Islands and South East Asia trade zones. This makes for great export focused haulage contracts in minerals and grains.
Recent disruptions in road and rail due to flooding, road works and congestion has highlighted the need for supply chain diversity and resilience. The Port of Bundaberg is ideally positioned for contingency planning and provides significant cost saving opportunities to Wide Bay Burnett producer's, miners and manufacturers.
Okara
This business has grown significantly and the time has now come to pass the business to a national or international player. Okara'a proximity to Port facilities gives customers an efficient, cost effective export alternative to the larger Ports of Brisbane and Gladstone. The Okara site where the trucking functions are located has the ability to facilitate trade opportunities and has bulk, break bulk and containerised capabilities.
Transport
Okara transports bulk goods in a modern fleet of truck and trailer combinations. The majority of current, long term work is now associated with the rebuild of Paradise Dam and Bruce Highway upgrades which are two of the Queensland State Government's biggest infrastructure projects.
Okara has a preferred supplier agreements to transport, store and ship load sand from a local quarry to Asian markets. Is also has another agreement to unload gypsum and stock pile at Etex.
3 B double trucks are included in the sale. There is also access to a 500m2 igloo covered maintenance shed that can be negotiated. The site can also handle storage of 110 shipping containers.
Future growth
The owners have prepared the business for growth and have a DA for bulk storage infrastructure and logistics and a ERA50 for loading/unloading 256,000 tonnes of bulk cargo per annum.
The site is an Approved Arrangement Facility for export inspections including container inspections and washdown. The site is the only facility between Brisbane and Gladstone with an authorised officer on staff to complete export certification inspections.
The flexibility of this site as a transport, storage and shipping hub creates an incredible, once in a decade opportunity. Buyers have a rare chance to gain an access to new shipping and export markets from central/southern Queensland.
The opportunity
The owners are looking to retire but will be negotiable on a 12 month handover period including maintenance of the vehicles.
