Depth Defence Logistics
For Absolute Reliability

Depth Logistics is a 100% Australian, patriotically committed, multi-modal freight forwarder specialising in defence supply chains. We are Defence Industry Security Program members.

Each and every shipment we handle is treated like a mission in itself where failure to deliver on time, on budget, safely and securely is not an option.

We have more people, transportation assets and resources focused on supporting our defence clients with military logistics related services than any other company in Australia. Depth Logistics has all of the capabilities of a large company but tactically maintains a smaller elite team of master logisticians who dynamically get the job done in a no nonsense, personalised manner, 24 hours a day.

We act for the Australian Defence Force, visiting foreign forces and other government agencies as well as Prime contractors and SME’s.

One of our key discriminators is our myCargo logistics IT platform that enables the ultimate in global supply chain visibility and excellent data security.

Depth Logistics is the choice of the defence industry.
