Asian Bulk Logistics (ABL Group), a logistics and infrastructure solutions provider, has completed the acquisition of 100% of Australia’s large container solution provider SCF Containers from ICG. ABL’s acquisition follows the fulfilment of all conditions precedent, ABL said in its announcement on Dec. 17.
ICG, a global alternative asset manager, has supported SCF’s growth over recent years, ABL Group said, strengthening its network, expanding product offerings, and enhancing operational capabilities.
The deal strengthens its footprint in Australia and complements its previous acquisition of Transhipment Services Australia (TSA) in 2025.
In July 2025, ABL confirmed that it finalised its acquisition of Transhipment Services Australia (TSA), becoming its sole shareholder. Through this acquisition, ABL said, “TSA is now integrated into our expanding global network of logistics and infrastructure services.”
SCF Containers serves customers across rental, sales, design, and maintenance, with offerings that include general-purpose containers, tank units, refrigerated containers, intermodal assets, site sheds, and remote accommodation modules.
With more than three decades of operations, SCF has locations in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Darwin, Townsville, and other key regions.
Ika Heru Beth Ari, president director of ABL, said: “Acquisitions enable accelerated growth by providing immediate access to new assets, technologies, customers, and revenue streams, while expanding market reach across new regions.
“They also support rapid portfolio diversification and offer capabilities that strengthen competitiveness. Integrating SCF into the ABL Group presents significant opportunities to widen our customer base, enhance our solution suite, and reinforce our position as a world-class logistics leader.”
