The Hunter’s economic gateway to the world
The largest port on the East Coast and Australia’s oldest export port, Newcastle Harbour is a vital economic gateway to the resource-rich Hunter Valley and the north and northwest of NSW.
With over 2,200 trade vessels visiting the port each year, Newcastle Harbour is one of the largest tonnage throughput ports in the country, exporting valuable bulk cargo such as coal, grain, vegetable oils, alumina, fertiliser and ore concentrates to markets overseas.
Newcastle’s landside port operations are managed by Port of Newcastle.
