Patrick Terminals, Australia’s largest and most innovative container terminal operator, has a long-standing history of driving operational efficiency and embracing innovation.
This initiative is further supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), which has announced major investments in renewable energy projects within Australia’s transport sector.
