PROJECT VELOCITY · GLADSTONE, CENTRAL QUEENSLAND
A privately financed, rail-first port and logistics platform linking Central Queensland to Southeast Asia — built to move freight without moving congestion.
THE PLATFORM
Project Velocity structurally decouples landside logistics from waterfront operations — a rail-first, demand-led model designed for high berth productivity, low dwell times, and consistent, safe operations.
Forecast growth of more than three million TEU on the east coast over the next decade will overwhelm infrastructure already operating at design limits. IPG's answer is new, structurally integrated capacity — an alternative gateway that strengthens national supply-chain resilience rather than competing for congested corridors.
