Investment research firm says company has built "dominant" positions in specific port logistics offerings, but particularly in rail haulage at Sydney's Port Botany

Company is also developing the Moorebank precinct, which is set to become the country's largest inland intermodal terminal - Morningstar

These developments should support cost advantages over less efficient peers - Morningstar
