flag Australia’s aging cattle ship fleet risks export losses due to unsafe, unreliable vessels.

flag Australia’s live cattle export industry faces growing risks as its fleet of livestock carriers ages, with many ships over 30 years old and some nearing 50. flag Aging vessels face rising maintenance costs, higher failure rates in critical systems, and declining compliance, threatening animal welfare and export capacity. flag Despite the need for modern, safer ships with better ventilation and reliability, investment remains slow due to industry uncertainty and inconsistent messaging, discouraging financiers. flag Without coordinated action to renew the fleet, the industry risks losing export capability not from market decline, but from outdated, unsafe ships.
