Australia's new strategic shipping fleet was announced right here in Townsville.

The ANL Kokoda represents a shift in thinking: freight resilience isn't just a commercial issue, it's a national one. And for North Queensland, that's always been understood.

We've published a new blog exploring what this means for regional supply chains, and what businesses need to consider when planning for disruption.

So proud of everyone that made this important cause central to our community. At NSS, we believe that you need to get behind important causes. From the outset, we are the naming right sponsors, but its the support that comes from our staff and clients that really take it to the next level.

A special call-out to the organisers for all their hard work. These types of events and raising of funds platforms don't happen by accident. It takes champions to put it together and make it happen.

Thank you!
