Depth Defence Logistics Centres
Our Depth Defence Logistics Centres (2DLC) provide every cargo handling, customs clearance, DAFF clearance and transport capability that Defence and defence industry would ever need.
Our 2DLCs are strategically located to support defence and government supply chains first and foremost but also support civilian cargo operations. They are located in close proximity to Brisbane,Townsville and Darwin ports, airports and defence bases. All 2DLCs have excellent access to major national highways for our own transport fleet to deliver cargo anywhere in Australia.
In Toowoomba we have an airfreight office and cargo handling capabilities inside Wellcamp Airport(IATA: WTB) freight terminal.
Our state of the art logistics centres operate 24/7 to support any urgent defence cargo movements and offer a high security environment with compliant CCTV and alarm systems. Our 2DLCs are ITAR compliant and are able to host military personnel security teams for controlled goods. We have TAPA and SCEC approved safes installed for any items requiring additional security.
Our modern fleet of trucks and secure vans are headquartered at our Depth Logistics Centres so moving your cargo could not be easier. Forklifts and all required material handling equipment is onsite.
We have large high bay secure warehouses at all 2DLCs that are fully fenced with sealed yards for safe storage of any cargo or vehicles.
All 2DLCs in Brisbane, Townsville and Darwin have DAFF washpads that are capable of operation day and night, and are equipped with fumigation pads. We have certified container stands to facilitate DAFF 14.4 rural tailgates. We have Approved Arrangements with DAFF for sea and air cargo which includes military packs and webbing inspection processing.
Our quarantine washpads prioritise defence and government cargo and we employ many ADF veterans who have qualifications and experience in the operation of most common types of military vehicles. Our biosecurity washing capability adopts a sophisticated, technical and careful approach so as to treat this high value and strategically important equipment with the respect it deserves. Our goal being to keep its availability to Defence high in case it is ever needed.
2DLCs have container freight station capabilities so are an ideal place to receive cargo where our team can pack or unpack containers or flat racks. If your cargo needs to be shrink wrapped, fumigated, palletised or crated then these services are available as well.
