The two companies already provide logistics services to the massive Gorgon gas field development in Western Australia, with Agility as the lead logistics provider and Linfox providing specialised transport and warehouse services. A joint office in Gladstone in Queensland has been established to seek logistics opportunities as the region's resources industry continues to develop.
