Port Of Melbourne Completes Appleton Dock Rail Upgrade

Port of Melbourne has completed enhancements at Appleton Dock which consisted of upgrading the dock’s rail interface and cargo-handling infrastructure to be able to handle dry bulk commodities alongside its existing general cargo operations.

This project, which was carried out with Qube, Australian Amalgamated Terminals (AAT) and the Victorian Government, will enable critical minerals to be transported by rail from inland Victoria and transferred directly to vessels for export.

This project complements the Victorian Government’s investment in the freight rail network, including upgrades to the line between Korong Vale and Manangatang. The route provides access to the state’s mineral-producing regions and connects them with the Port of Melbourne.
