Port Botany Rail Optimisation

Sydney, Australia

Objective

Increase rail mode share at Sydney’s busiest container port (Port Botany) through operational optimisation and rail yard investment.

Investment

DP World announced an A$400 million upgrade in early 2025 to double on-dock rail capacity.

Expected Outcome

Boosting rail capacity to 1 million TEUs per year, cutting congestion and emissions.

“When you’re building something at this scale for the first time, you need people who understand both the technical and institutional challenges. The support we had helped keep the project grounded in reality, not just ambition.”
