Freight & Container Transportation was a Sydney-based monthly trade magazine covering freight transport in Australia. It was published between May 1967 and June 1985.

History

Freight & Container Transportation was established in May 1967 by Frank Shennen of Shennen Publishing, which already published the trade magazines Railway Transportation (established 1951) and Truck & Bus Transportation.[1] The magazine focused on the road, sea, and air freight industries in Australia.[2]

The magazine's launch coincided with a transformative period in Australian freight transport. Australia had pioneered containerised shipping with the construction of MV Kooringa, the world's first purpose-built fully-cellular container ship, which entered domestic service in 1964.[3] International container shipping arrived in Australia in March 1969 when the Encounter Bay made its debut visit to Fremantle, marking Australia's entry into the global container revolution.[4] By the mid-1960s, major Australian ports were preparing for the introduction of purpose-built cellular container ships on the Europe to Australia trade, a change that would prove more significant to commerce than the earlier transition from sail to steam.[5]

The magazine ceased publication in June 1985.[6] Its sister publication Railway Transportation had ceased a decade earlier in December 1974.
