About the Port

Brisbane is the state capital of Queensland, the second largest of Australia’s states and territories.  The Port of Brisbane is Queensland’s largest general cargo port, and Australia’s fastest-growing container port.

Managed by the Port of Brisbane Corporation, the main port complex is located at the mouth of the Brisbane River, and is the only purpose-built, capital-city, intermodal port complex in Australia.

The port’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.

Port 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 28 million tonnes of cargo over the port’s wharves.  This activity currently generates a total annual contribution to the Queensland economy of $770 million.

How to get to the Port

The main port complex is about 40 minutes drive from the central business district.

Public transport is available to the Port of Brisbane via QR’s domestic train service to the Wynnum Station and a connecting bus service to the port.

The transPORT bus runs three services in the morning and three in the afternoon, Monday to Friday (except public holidays) between the nearby suburbs of Manly and Wynnum and the port. Click here for the timetable.
