As a government owned asset we are dedicated to supporting regional economies and communities, creating trade opportunities with global markets, fostering supply chain resilience and facilitating positive economic returns for the people of Queensland.

We have partnered with global shipping line ANL to offer containerised freight services.

ANL is the lead carrier for the CMA CGM Group in Oceania, the largest container shipping line servicing Australia and the third largest in the world.

ANL Container Line continues to strengthen its Australian coastal and international coverage with regular vessel calls into the Port of Gladstone. The ANL Pacific North (APR) and ANL Pacific North 2 (APR2) services provide direct connectivity between Gladstone and key transhipment hubs in Asia, supporting both import and export trade. The APR and APR2 service calls Gladstone on a weekly schedule, collectively enhancing container shipping access for Central Queensland industries and the wider supply chain.

These services highlight Gladstone’s growing role as a key container gateway within ANL’s Australian coastal and international network. This partnership offers the following:

• A weekly vessel call in Gladstone;
• Connecting Gladstone directly with the world via key transhipment;
• APR provides direct port calls to Port Kelang (Malaysia), Singapore, Jakarta, Surabaya, Madang, Lae, Kimbe, Rabaul and Motukea (Port Moresby);
• The APR2 services provide direct calls to Qingdao, Busan, Shanghai, Ningbo, Nansha, then proceeds to Lae, Motukea (Port Moresby), Brisbane, Gladstone, and Townsville; and
• Your cargo can then be shipped anywhere in the world through the CMA CGM Group’s global network via access to a Tier One shipping line.
