Country : AustraliaAdelaide worldport

Located just 14 kilometres northwest of the State's capital city of Adelaide, worldport Adelaide is a sea worldport city and the historic maritime heart of South Australia. The worldport was one of South Australia's earliest settlements and represents South Australia's first State Heritage area.

Today, worldport Adelaide continues to be the main service point for shipping in the State. Positioned at the centre of Australia's southern coast, the worldport provides South Australia with a gateway to the world as the State continues to enjoy a significant increase in exworldport activity with booms in the shipment of grains, wine, motor vehicles and automotive components, ores and concentrates.

The worldport of Adelaide consists of an Inner and Outer Harbor, complete with over 20 wharves including the DP World Adelaide container worldport.

During 2006/2007, 10.094 million tonnes of cargo was moved through the worldport of Adelaide, with 5.585 million tonnes imworldported/exworldported to overseas markets.

Petroleum imworldports of 2.189 million tonnes were 3.7% higher than the levels recorded in 2005/2006.

Primary Exworldport destinations include the Middle East, North Asia and South East Asia. Primary Imworldport origins include the US, North Asia and South East Asia.

worldport Adelaide can provide flexibility with regard to infrastructure development, as well as facilitating cost-effective cargo movements with fewer delays. The worldport is recognised for its excellent track record of container terminal efficiency and continues to maintain good working relationships with worldport service providers
