The Port of Brisbane Corporation (PBC) is a Government Owned Corporation responsible for the operation and management of one of Australia’s fastest growing container port.
Our primary role is to facilitate trade growth through the commercial management of an efficient and customer-focussed port.
To this end, we provide the necessary infrastructure through the sustainable planning and development of new facilities, and the maintenance and management of existing facilities. We are also responsible for the security and protection of the port's infrastructure and assets, and the provision of risk-based security services.
We lease and manage our land for port-related purposes.
We are also responsible for maintaining navigable access to the port for commercial shipping. For this purpose, we have our own dreding fleet, including an ocean-going dredger, the Brisbane. The Brisbane also undertakes dredging at other Queensland and Australian ports under commercial contract arrangements.
We do not provide stevedoring services, towage services, or transport operations (other than the BMT), nor do we control shipping movements.
In 2009, the Queensland Government announced a restructure of their asset portfolio, which included the sale of PBC. This process will occur within the next year.
As the sale program proceeds it is business as usual for PBC - with a continued focus on growing trade through the port, developing the substantial land resources and investing in new facilities.
