Australian National Lines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Australian National Line (ANL) is an Australian shipping company that specialises in the movement of bulk freight and cargo between Australian ports and anywhere else in the world.
ANL employs over 3,000 staff and moves 240,000 cargo containers per year.
It is owned by a parent group, the French company CMA CGM, which operate over 80 bulk carriers on all of the world's major shipping lanes, and are the world's fifth biggest shipping operator.
ANL's history dates back to 1956, since the establishment of the Australian Coastal Shipping Commission. They were taken over by CMA CGM in 1998.
ANL were infamously involved in the Tasman Bridge disaster in Hobart, Tasmania in 1975, as the owner/operator of the Lake Illawarra.
