The online space dedicated to the region’s port community
Welcome to porttalk
With the logistics sector busier than ever, we felt it the perfect time to launch a space for those involved in the industry. Porttalk is all about creating a hub to share news (through our free-to-subscribe newsletter) and to provide a forum to voice opinions.
Porttalk is also about being affordable. With opportunities priced at rates that don’t break the bank, our vision is to become the ‘go-to’ for everyone currently working in the sector, and those keen to get involved.

Wow, what a fantastic idea and just what’s needed! This is certainly something that will be a beacon of information and resources for port users and logistics people. Just the recruitment side alone is a great space for those locally seeking to enter the industry. Bravo!
Congratulations on a great initiative. I can’t believe somebody hasn’t thought about this sooner. It’s just what the industry needs.
