QSL has marked a significant milestone with the transfer of bulk sugar terminal management to Sugar Terminals Limited (STL), ending decades of operational responsibility.
QSL Managing Director and CEO Mark Hampson thanked the Operations team for its long-standing service, saying it had built a legacy of safely and efficiently exporting Queensland sugar and molasses to markets around the world.
He said QSL had provided terminal management as a service to the industry without profit, helping establish Queensland's reputation as a reliable global sugar exporter.
While terminal operations have now transitioned to STL, Mr Hampson said QSL remains focused on its core role as Queensland's largest provider of sugar marketing, pricing and payment services, with a continued commitment to delivering value for cane growers and millers.
QSL has also announced the results of its 2026 Grower Representative Member elections following ballots in the Burdekin, Herbert River and Mackay regions.
In the Herbert River region, representing Macknade and Victoria mills, Vince Russon and William (Robert) Lyon were elected as Grower Representative Members.
