Flinders Ports, South Australia
In 2000, the South Australian Government recognised the need to improve
the utilisation and levels of service at its seven busy ports – known
collectively as the Flinders Ports Corporation. Egis was the leader of
the successful bid for the ownership and operation of this critical
economic infrastructure. Since 2001, Egis has taken part in this
highly successful public-to-private sector transition into a 99 year
lease and port operations concession. In a few years of operation, the
operating company has achieved significant operating cost savings and
initiated a capital works program which will see the ports
significantly upgraded. Customer communications and container handling
speed have also been improved.
The
ports are providing improved financial returns to public and private
stakeholders through increased traffic with considerable growth
achievements.
With further capital upgrades
and the introduction of new technologies, it is expected
that Flinders Ports will
contribute highly to the growth
of local industry and the South Australian economy.
