We are proud to welcome the BBG Singapore, the largest vessel to load a combination of lentils and chickpeas at Port of Melbourne.

The pulses began their journey along Australia’s East coast states, where they are cultivated by expert growers, before making their way to Port of Melbourne's Appleton Dock via road and rail. The BBG Singapore was in port for several days before departing Melbourne, and is expected to arrive in India early February.

Port of Melbourne is delighted to work with @WeAreLDC in exporting quality Australian produce to the world.

The warmer months are here; and the snakes are out! 🐍
It's important for everyone working and visiting the port to be aware of the potential hazards posed by snakes.

Safety is a priority in all areas around the port, and we encourage you to be especially mindful of the possibility of a snake encounters around gardens and grass areas, or any place that provides a dark, warm refuge for a snake.

If you spot a snake, keep your distance – do not attempt to kill or capture it. Instead, contact PoM maintenance at 1300 857 662.

If bitten, remain calm, alert someone, and seek medical attention by calling 000. Apply First Aid by immobilizing the affected limb with a pressure bandage.

Report all snake sightings and interactions to the Port of Melbourne Landside Safety Team via the links below:
Hazard Report - https://t.co/Ejs0lXkQ2h
Incident Report - https://t.co/qqbxWtBQHu

Stay safe and vigilant! 🛡️
