The 41 year old dock worker died when a 3 ton steal beam came down on him, crushing him during standard working operations. The Maritime Union of Australia says it is time for improvements in work conditions.

As such we thought it deserved its own post in the series.

As the popularity of container shipping to Australia has grown, so has the amount of companies claiming to specialize in it. As we always stress, having an experienced company with a proven track record that will also give you a good price and not have any “hidden” or “last minute” charges is paramount.

That being said, there is no question that, assuming one has a credible company to work with (here is a good list of Australian shipping companies and agents that I often refer to), container shipping is the highly recommended mode of shipping to Australia. In fact, today 90% of all non-bulk cargo shipped to Australia is done with stackable containers. The containers are all built to ISO quality standard with standard shapes and sizes which has lessened a lot of past problems.

Container shipping to Australia has also benefited customers security wise as contents are hidden by the wall of the container and, assuming the container doors are properly sealed with a stamp, tampering or theft, both by would be thieves and the shipping workers themselves, has been dramatically reduced.
