The logistics company Medlog of the shipping group Mediterranean Shipping Company has signed a contract for set up its own logistics site in the area of the old market Melbourne Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Industry. The project will be carried out in collaboration with the Port Authority of Melbourne and provides for the redevelopment of an area of 29 hectares to allow the storage of containers near the Australian port, thus reducing truck transits through the western part of the city. "It is - he said explained Melissa Horne, Minister of Ports and Freight Transport of the State of Victoria, commenting on the agreement - to maintain the flow of goods while relieving pressure on the local roads, reducing truck traffic, increasing the security and strengthening state supply chains of Victoria. By bringing the goods closer to the port, we make the system more efficient and bring concrete benefits to communities, freight transport sector and companies from all over the State".
