Successful shipping is all about delivering value, operating in a professional manner, and remaining committed to sustaining long term trusting relationships. From its base in Western Australia's home port of Fremantle, Westlink Shipping prides itself on superior performance in these key areas of business.

Since the early 1990s, Westlink's North West Express Line and WA Line have become synonymous with excellence in shipping service and dependability. In cooperation with key alliance partners, and thanks to an outstanding team of people, Westlink's liner services provide vital links for many coastal ports - in Australia and overseas. Upon request and inducement, the scope of those services is continually enhanced to meet and satisfy additional demand.

Westlink Shipping is an environmentally aware company and seeks to minimise its carbon footprint at all times through efficient operational practices. Modern, highly adaptable vessels, respect for maritime traditions, well-embedded core values coupled with highly advanced management systems, ensure that Westlink's industry leadership is maintained. Well tested safety, monitoring and administration procedures ensure that clients receive outstanding service delivery as well as highly qualified information and advice. Our Mission Statement reflects our corporate focus on complete customer satisfaction.

Chartering and Ship's Agency complement Westlink's suite of services, and ensure that a complete solution may be provided, regardless of clients' specific or diverse shipping requirements.


"To serve the commercial community within the Australasian region by providing shipping and liner services to unsurpassed standards, founded on a philosophy of dedication to the needs of our customers."


Thanks to a well-defined corporate culture which values and rewards innovation, responsibility, flexibility, hard work and respect for our clients, Westlink Shipping has an enviable reputation for reliability and efficiency.

We are motivated to deliver outstanding outcomes in every commercial interaction, and this is reflected in our underpinning Core Values:

• To go the extra nautical mile in the cause of providing the best possible service for our clients and respect their needs and wishes;
  
  
• To engage in honest and straightforward business dealings at all times;
  
  
• To pursue a path of integrity at all levels of the organisation;
  
  
• A total commitment to empowering our people to deploy their talents to the full, and succeed to the best of their ability.
  

Westlink Shipping is represented by a team of highly experienced, motivated and proficient customer service managers who are totally committed to excellent communication, competitive pricing as well as cost-efficient results. Our corporate ethos and flat management style empowers our team of professionals to make timely and responsive decisions as client needs dictate. Maintaining a 'hands on' approach to cargo management with attendance at load and discharge ports ensures all our clients' operational plans are followed and executed to the letter.


The Westlink project management capability enables our clients to reduce unnecessary costs and mitigate their risks. Our alliances with ship owners underpins our success. Long standing North West Express Line arrangements with Andersen Shipping of Singapore, and our relationship with the high profile BBC Chartering in the WA Line operation, is testament to Westlink's ability to nurture, build and develop long term win win relationships with some of the world's leading shipping interests.


Westlink operates its own dedicated fleet that services our designated North West Express Line and WA Line trade routes. For the most part, our fleet capacity is more than sufficient - however, from time to time, and subject to cargo volumes and time sensitive deadlines, we are able to charter in extra tonnage to meet our clients' additional needs and special requirements.
