Waterline reports on trends in container handling productivity on the waterfront in Australia and the cost of importing and exporting containers. It covers the unloading of container ships and the transport of containers from container terminals.

In Australia, road transport is the predominant mode for moving freight within the country, especially interstate and within capital cities. It represents a vital link in various logistics chains, providing access for freight to ports and terminals and urban freight distribution between warehouses and retail outlets. It is also the dominant mode for moving freight over relatively short distances and where alternatives are not readily available.

The Australian Sea Freight series presents statistics on the movement of Australian freight by sea and information on port activity, fleet structure and use of coastal permits. This edition focuses on sea freight activity around Australia during 2009–10.

Waterline 50 reports on trends in container handling productivity on the wharfside and landside of container port terminals in Australia and the cost of importing and exporting containers.

It covers 5 Australian major port terminals: Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Fremantle. This issue provides the data to June quarter 2011.

In 2002, the ATC approved a set of 6 targets and indicators to measure performance improvements of the interstate rail track over time. Early reports against the indicators were derived entirely from track managers' (below rail) datasets. An ARA survey of train operators (above rail) reporting on key performance indicators showed that results from track managers' datasets were, for some indicators, inconsistent with results based on rail operators' data. There are distinct reporting methodologies between above and below rail.

Results for 2006–07 are reported against a set of 11 railway indicators. These are in three groups: three train indicators, four track indicators and four market indicators.
