We have a long valued history in the East Arnhem region and with its indigenous people. Competitive sport is a very important part of community life in these remote areas and Perkins Shipping implements a sport recognition program that provides the opportunity for young people with natural talent from the region to come to Darwin to play competitive sport for the AFLNT. This program includes training in the fields of Logistics, Stevedoring & OH & S. We hope that through this type of assistance we will be able to supply these talented sports people with the necessary training in life skills that will assist them in their future sporting careers.
