Port Botany & Port Kembla are critical assets that support the well being of the State

NSW Ports recognises the critical importance of both Port Botany and Port Kembla to NSW’s future economic growth, development and well-being

NSW is the largest state economy in Australia and accounts for almost one-third of the Australian economy

Both Port Botany and Port Kembla are very high quality assets

Port Botany is Australia’s 2nd largest container port and sole container port servicing Sydney, the largest population centre in Australia

Port Kembla is Australia’s largest vehicle import facility and a key gateway for coal, grain and bulk products

The combination of these two ports represents one of Australia’s most critical and strategic assets

We are committed to the responsible management of, and investment in, both assets for the long-term due to the vital role they play in economies of the Sydney, Illawarra and greater NSW regions

We will actively seek to work with all stakeholders to maintain high quality port services and effective customer interactions
