The M4 shed is located on the southern end of the Hobart port area, on the Derwent River. Our position adjacent to Macquarie Wharf's No 3 and 4 berths enables effective loading and discharge of cargo for vessel port calls.
All cargo and marine science equipment travelling to and from Australia's Antarctic territories is receipted, processed, packed and despatched from this facility. The AAD Cargo Operations Facility holds a Customs Bond Store Licence and is an AQIS Quarantine Approved Premise.
The Macquarie 4 Cargo Facility has been involved in the successful certification of the AAD's environmental management system (EMS) to international standard ISO14001 and continues to maintain this standard in everyday work practices. The facility is strongly committed to supporting both the AAD's Environmental Policy and the EMS.
