随着三位新合伙人日前加入了豪力律师事务所悉尼办事处，豪力最近在运输领域的法律服务上进一步加强了优势。

Geoff Farnsworth, Denella Wilmshurst和Nathan Cecil三位合伙人在运输法方面总体拥有超过50年的经验，期间持续为澳洲境内外的船舶拥有者、租赁方、制造商、原材料生产商和物流供应商提供法律服务。

值得强调的是他们经常为中国的船舶拥有者、航运公司、银行、贸易公司以及制造商提供法律服务。他们在中国大陆、香港和新加坡都有许多客户。

三位新合伙人的加盟使得豪力既有的在铁路、港口、公交运输与航空运输领域的处理能力大为增强、也让豪力在运输业务领域也成为了全澳领先的律所之一。

澳洲有着强劲并处于成长态势的运输行业，并且每年的进出口额都在增长。

根据澳洲物流委员会近期发布的数据，运输产业对澳洲经济的贡献多达1300亿澳元、占GDP的8.6%。

就公交运输与货运而言，澳洲国内、连同东南亚及其他国际地区目前都存在重大的发展机会。

澳洲国内市场方面，对包含公路、铁路、港口、航空在内的基础建设的强劲投资为更有效的物流服务创造了机会。

道路运输的法规与违规惩罚都日趋严格。因此对于道路交通行业的所有相关方来说，取得高度专业的建议和咨询就变得十分有必要。这些相关方包括销售商、制造商、进口商、出口商、存储运营商以及分配中心。

沿海航运却很可能在一定程度上解除管制，这将为国外的船舶拥有者参与到沿海贸易中提供机会。

澳洲物流的日益复杂化意味着本地的物流公司能够很好地利用东南亚市场发展的机会。这些国家为了支持其经济增长而在物流与运输等基础建设方面加大了投资，因此澳洲在这些方面的优越经验与专长将变得更为可贵。

Three experts commence as new transport partners for Holding Redlich

Holding Redlich has recently strengthened its Transport Law capability with the addition of three partners to its Sydney office.

Geoff Farnsworth, Danella Wilmshurst and Nathan Cecil collectively have more than 50 years’ experience in transport law having acted in that time for Australian and international shipowners, charterers, manufacturers and primary producers, and logistics providers.

In particular they have acted regularly for Chinese shipowners, shipping lines and banks, as well as Chinese trading companies and manufacturers. They have many clients in Hong Kong, Singapore and China.

The addition of three new partners adds substantially to the firms existing capacity in rail, ports, public transport and aviation and makes the firm one of Australia’s leading transport law firms.

The Transport sector in Australia is strong, and growing, with exports and imports increasing every year.

According to figures recently published by the Australian Logistics Council, the Transport industry contributes A$130 billion to the Australian economy, or 8.6% of GDP.

There are significant opportunities for growth both domestically in terms of freight and public transport, as well as internationally, into South East Asia and beyond.

On the domestic front, strong investment in infrastructure across road, rail, ports and aviation will create opportunities for the more efficient provision of logistics services.

Increasing regulation of road transport along with substantial penalties for breach will require highly specialist advice to all parties in the road transport sector. This will include retailers and manufacturers, importers and exporters, as well as storage operators and distribution centres.

It is likely that coastal shipping will be deregulated to some extent, opening the door for foreign shipowners to become more involved with the coastal trade.

The growing sophistication of the Australian logistics sector will mean that local logistics companies will be well placed to take advantage of opportunities in the developing markets of South East Asia. Increasing investment in those countries in transport and logistics infrastructure necessary to support economic growth with create a market of Australian expertise.
