About us

The mission of Darwin Container Services is to provide specialised logistics services in Northern Australia with an emphasis on over dimensional loads, container services and specialised tasks.

Darwin Container Services (DCS) is family owned and operated by Peter, Estelle & Christian Cornell. They have been operating the business since 1978 and since that time have built a ‘can do’ reputation for performing all sorts of logistics challenges.

Darwin Container Services operate with integrity and professionalism and Peter Cornell is widely recognised as a problem solver who is always trying to work out a better, more efficient and productive way to carry out the task at hand. For this reason major companies seek out DCS when specialist work is to be carried out in the Northern Territory.

The company is also well known for its support of community groups in the area of logistics including Variety NT, Friends of the North Australian Railway, Riding for the Disabled, Mt Isa School of Air and the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Peter was awarded the Metropolitan Northern Territory, Australian of The Year, Local Hero Award, and also has a presidential citation from the president of Variety International.
