Ports are Australia’s gateways to the world
Australia is an island nation moving 98% of our trade by sea. Almost everything Australians use in daily life and business has come through a Port. This means the cost of living is lower the more connected and efficient Ports are. We are also tourism gateways with over 1 million cruise passengers transiting through our Ports every year. Being the physical centre of the economy means that healthy Ports promote a healthy economy, more jobs and more wealth for Australians.
