Investment in inland rail capacity and storage has improved the flow of grain to export terminals, according to a logistics operator announcement.

The upgrade is expected to reduce congestion during peak harvest periods and support more predictable vessel loading schedules.

Exporters said improved inland reliability helps reduce demurrage exposure.

Shipping agents expect the benefits to be most visible during the main export season.
