Freight transport is mainlycovered through four kinds of transport means such as air, rail, road and water. Roadtransport has remained one of the most sought options for the transport. However, it is alsoassociated with incrementing ratio of carbon footprints. This has provided opportunity forothers to occupy. Nevertheless, Qube logistics has done so to propose the plan to construct anIntermodal Hub in Sydney. It presents its readers an idea on how to conduct innovative thingsin order to stay competitive.

3QUBE LOGISTICSIntroductionIntermodal freight transport is a good source to transport the goods or products fromone part to another with relatively lesser hassle than the traditional format. The transportationis done through every possible mode such as air, rail, road and water. This is why it has someoptions as an answer to the rising carbon footprint in the environment. The transportationthrough rail is relatively less polluted than the trucks. The intermodel concept has generated aresource for business to many. It has also reduced the complexity of freight transportationboth nationally and internationally. However, the business is also associated with some issuessuch as road congestion, increasing carbon emission, noisy atmosphere and much more(SteadieSeifi et al. 2014). The main purpose of this assignment is to analyse the issues in theintermodel company Moorebank Intermodal. Moreover, the assignment presents relevantrecommendations to the identified problems. Background of Moorebank Intermodal CompanyIn the last four years, Qube logistics has extensively developed its portfolio as alogistics solution to become the single largest logistics service provider in Australia. In thelast four years, the company has extensively focussed on developing both the inland and porthubs to further its infrastructure to smoothen the logistics operation in the country. Thedevelopment of the Moorebank intermodal hub in the Western Sydney is a big boost to thesupply chain operations. The hub is generated with a view to take 3,000 trucks off the road.In this way, it would help in reducing the carbon by 40,000 tonnes in a single year. Moreover,this would also help in reducing the cost of import and export by 20 to 25 percent (ABCNews 2017). The project would further the supply chain experiences of different firms in thecountry.
