Our Story

Marine logistics is one of the most critical—but often overlooked—links in Australia’s infrastructure, energy, and resource economy. At its best, it keeps ports flowing, projects moving, and supply chains on track. But at its worst, it can be slow, fragmented, outdated, and hard to navigate. 

That’s the gap Lofte exists to fill. 

Lofte was born out of a belief that this industry can—and should—be better. Safer, smarter, and more transparent. One where people are respected, cargo is handled with care, and clients don’t need to chase for answers or second-guess performance. 

Our founders didn’t come from marketing departments or boardrooms. They came from the wharf, from operations, from project delivery. They knew there was a better way to manage marine logistics and cargo handling—because they had lived the frustrations firsthand. 

So, Lofte was built with a clear vision:  To move what matters, the right way. 

Today, we operate across Australia, supporting complex project cargo, heavy lift operations, port-side management and logistics advisory services. Our clients range from resource companies and infrastructure projects to marine engineers and vessel operators—anyone who needs a partner who can take ownership of the full picture.
