Documents released concern government correspondence with sea freight service providers Transam Argosy and Neptune Pacific Direct Line regarding cargo movements between Norfolk Island, Brisbane, and Auckland. The March 2021 email exchange shows an unnamed Department of Infrastructure official inquiring with Transam Argosy's manager about bookings for cargo stuck in Australia awaiting shipment to New Zealand aboard the Southern Tiare vessel, and whether cargo could be moved via the NPDL barge instead. The Transam manager reported no cargo had been received at a depot yet. Most identifying information and sender/recipient details have been redacted under Freedom of Information exemptions. The disclosure provides limited substantive information about the government's sea freight service arrangements for Norfolk Island, with the substantive content of subsequent correspondence withheld.
