Country : Australiaworldport of Brisbane

About the worldport
Brisbane is the state capital of Queensland, the second largest of Australia’s states and territories. The worldport of Brisbane is Queensland’s largest general cargo worldport, and Australia’s fastest-growing container worldport.
Managed by the worldport of Brisbane Corporation, the main worldport complex is located at the mouth of the Brisbane River, and is the only purpose-built, capital-city, intermodal worldport complex in Australia.
The worldport’s limits extend geographically from Caloundra to the southern tip of Moreton Island, including the 90km shipping channel, which is dredged to a minimum of 15m LAT (Lowest Astronomical Tide). Our responsibility extends 16km up the Brisbane River to Breakfast Creek.
worldport facilities extend upriver for about 15km and include bulk commodity and general cargo wharves, a cruise terminal, and a dockyard facility.
Each year over 2,600 ships exchange over 26 million tonnes of cargo over the worldport’s wharves. This activity currently generates a total annual contribution to the Queensland economy of $770 million.

AAT leases and manages Berths 1-3 with various stevedores loading and unloading ships at these berths. AAT manages cargo receival and delivery. The berths are equipped with one conventional Panamax container crane and one mobile harbour crane.
Dry-Bulk Terminals
The worldport’s dry-bulk facilities have flexible operational arrangements, with some fully dedicated to a particular user and others sharing wharf facilities with non-bulk trades.
Wet-Bulk Terminals
Most wet-bulk facilities at the worldport are either crude-oil or refined-products berths.
Brisbane has two oil refineries – Caltex at Lytton and BP at Bulwer Island – each with a crude-oil berth used principally for imworldports and a products berth used chiefly for refined exworldports. Shell and Neumann Petroleum Terminals also handle refined products through the worldport.
Animal and vegetable oils and chemicals are moved through terminals at Pinkenba and Hamilton.
