About The Port
The Port of Townsville Limited (the Port) has been actively shaping the future of Townsville and North Queensland for 160 years.
Today, we are Australia's largest port for zinc, lead, copper, sugar and fertiliser. Additionally, we handle more motor vehicles and containerised goods than any other port in Northern Australia. The goods that flow through our ports are grown, mined, manufactured and used to better the lives of more than 800,000 people across a vast catchment area, spanning from Hinchinbrook to the Burdekin and west to Mount Isa.
On average, more than 8 million tonnes of goods, worth more than $10 billion, cross our wharves each year. Thanks to our customers, we are one of the country's most diverse ports, linking more than 30 different commodities to 130 ports in 44 countries.
The Townsville port is also an increasingly strategic forward mounting location in Australia's Defence capabilities, as well as an important tourism enabler due to its modern dedicated cruise ship terminal.
Working with us
The Port of Townsville is expanding its team of passionate and innovative professionals as we undergo a period of significant and sustainable growth.
We are currently undertaking the biggest port expansion in our history, trade volumes are expected to triple by 2050 as new projects in rare earth, critical minerals and renewable energy come to realisation and demand for Defence and cruise shipping capacity is rapidly increasing.
In the coming years we will be challenged to continue to deliver highly competitive day to day port operations, drive improvements in sustainability across all areas of the business and deliver major capital works projects that will ensure our capacity to facilitate the trade demands of the future.
