Kalgin Joins Forces For Samoan Tsunami Relief
On Saturday the 17th of October Kalgin held a BBQ at our warehouse
in Brisbane in support of victims of the recent tsunami in Samoa.
In conjunction with Reef Shipping we
organised two containers of relief supplies to go
to Apia, one container
from Brisbane and the other from Sydney. These containers were sent free
of charge, containing donations of clothing, non-perishable
foodstuffs, bottled water, and bedding and blankets.
Kalgin Brisbane would like to thank the
businesses and Samoan Community members who supported this effort!
Together we managed to fill a 20' container with much needed relief supplies.

Noumea - New Weekly Service
Kalgin are proud to announce an industry first. Our LCL consolidation services from Sydney and Brisbane to Noumea are now going weekly. Using MSC's new weekly direct vessel from Sydney, "MSC Caledonien", Kalgin can get your cargo from Sydney to Noumea in 4 days with a weekly departure. From Brisbane the "MSC Caledonien" departs every 2 weeks, so using a combination of this vessel & the "Caledonie Express" we are currently able to achieve a weekly service from Brisbane. Transit time is 2-4 days depending on which vessel is used. Please refer to our Pacific Island Schedules for dates. Our Melbourne office will continue to operate its direct service every 2 weeks on the "Caledonie Express".
