Reference excerpt

Toll Resources & Government Logistics (TRGL) is a division of the Toll Group. Predominantly, the division offers integrated logistics solutions to the oil and gas, mining, chemicals and coal industries in over 10 countries.

Divisions Toll Offshore Petroleum Services is the owner-operator of offshore supply bases at Loyang in Singapore, Sihanoukville in Cambodia and Sattahip in Thailand. Toll Offshore Petroleum Services supports oil and gas development activities in the Asia–Pacific region, ranging from Australia to the Caspian Sea region. Toll Marine Logistics (Australia) services include remote area stevedoring, shipping and marine logistics linking northern Australia to the Asia–Pacific region. It also provides integrated supply chain management, including intermodal services. It employs about 300 people. Toll Marine Logistics (Asia) services include bulk handling and transportation of coal, steel scrap, billets, sand and aggregates. Its service extends to ASEAN entities (except Laos and Brunei). Toll Energy is a provider of logistics services to the Australian oil and gas production industry. It has a network of supply bases located on the North West Shelf, Timor Sea, Bass Strait, Adelaide, Browse Basin, Cooper Basin, Brisbane, Singapore, Cambodia and Thailand. Toll Mining Services provides supply chain services. They specialise in inbound and outbound dangerous goods and chemical logistics for the coal mining industries. Its services include bulk haulage of commodities; on-and-off haulage services; transport of specialised bulk such as security-sensitive ammonium nitrate; logistics for explosives; and inbound industrial chemical logistics. Toll Remote Logistics provides services to military, naval and peacekeeping forces, entities within the mining sector and other commercial and not-for-profit organisations situated in remote locations. Toll Liquids specialises in transporting bulk liquids and industrial gases by road for both dangerous goods and non-dangerous goods, including food. Toll Transitions provides removal and relocation services to about 300 Australian organisations and government departments. On average, Toll Transitions manages about 30,000 relocations each year.

Services The $325 million upgrade of the Toll Offshore Petroleum Services facility in Loyang, Singapore, means that the firm owns one of the world's three major oil and gas hubs. The facility has a length of 1,000 metres and a water depth of 8.5 metres. It has a multi-storey ramp-up warehouse. Toll Mining Services has security-sensitive ammonium nitrate storage facilities. As of June 2012, Toll Marine Logistics (Australia) had a fleet of 10 vessels including landing craft and container vessels. Toll Marine Logistics (Asia) had a fleet of over 80 vessels including tugs, dumb, self-propelled and discharging barges; landing craft; floating cranes; a floating terminal and a floating workshop and maintenance facility; and container vessels. Toll Marine Logistics operates six terminals in Australia and two facilities in Singapore and Indonesia. Toll Mining Services has a fleet that can take payload tasks of up to 360 tonnes. On average, Toll Transitions manages about 30,000 relocations each year. In July 2010, Toll Transitions commenced its contract with the Australian Defence Force to provide removal and relocation services, which was reported to be more than $1 billion for the first five years. The Minister indicated in January 2012 that Defence usually relocates around 23,000 members and their families each year as part of the military posting cycle. In April 2014, Toll Energy announced that they would be constructing and operating a base in Darwin to support INPEX's liquefied natural gas offshore facilities in Ichthys Field in the Browse Basin.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Toll Resources & Government Logistics

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Toll Resources & Government Logistics claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Toll Resources & Government Logistics before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Toll Resources & Government Logistics ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Toll Resources & Government Logistics

In research: Toll Resources & Government Logistics appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Toll Resources & Government Logistics in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Toll Resources & Government Logistics is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Energy in Western Australia, Humanitarian aid, Logistics companies of Australia, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Toll Resources & Government Logistics outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
