A unified, independent voice representing shippers on shipping, port and landside issues.
The Australian Shippers Alliance (ASA) is an independent industry coordination platform focused on the commercial and regulatory dimensions of international shipping, port access and landside cost structures affecting Australian importers and exporters.
ASA exists to support evidence based engagement with regulators and government where market outcomes raise systemic concerns for cargo owners.
ASA is not a peak body, lobby group or representative association.
How ASA Works
ASA provides a structured and confidential forum for cargo owners to engage constructively on shipping, port and landside cost issues. Its work is grounded in evidence, discretion and proportionate engagement with existing regulatory frameworks.
Structured, confidential forum
A trusted, non-public environment where cargo owners can examine market outcomes and share observations without commercial or reputational risk.
Evidence before advocacy
Independent regulatory findings and aggregated commercial evidence are prioritised before any engagement with government or regulators.
Targeted regulatory engagement
Focused, proportionate use of existing statutory mechanisms to address specific issues, rather than broad, adversarial or public campaigns.
