AUS have now 4 containers going to Japan. We have 2 from Victoria, 1 from NSW and 1 from WA.  We have been very busy sourcing Lease boats for UK and USA competitors due to the high cost of container travel arrangements.  Well done to all those who have assisted finding Lease boats for all who needed them.  If you need any specific container details, contact :
