They work round the clock, seven days a week up the giant portainer cranes lifting boxes on and off the ships, on straddles forklifts, front end loaders and gantry cranes shifting and stacking boxes, driving forklifts, on deck lashing cargo or operating ship?s gear, down the hatch, in computer towers and grain gantries and on the ground.

Hydrocarbons The Australian Offshore & Gas Industry is located in Bass Strait Victoria, the Northwest Shelf in Western Australia and Timor Sea off Northern Territory.
