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.
