About Southern Ports

Strong regional ports, strong regions.

Working across four sites in Albany, Bunbury, Esperance and Perth, we play a pivotal role in facilitating global trade and logistics by serving as key nodes connecting countries and continents.

Our ports are vital components of the international supply chain, serving as gateways for the movement of goods and facilitating seamless connectivity between various modes of transportation.

Southern Ports is more than just a trade facilitator. We’re a solutions company that connects regional strengths to global opportunities.

A gateway to opportunity, prosperity and growth for our regions and state, we support economic development through strategic investments, professional port management and collaborative partnerships.

Our drive for innovation, world-class asset management and an uncompromising ‘can do’ mindset positions our customers and partners to thrive in an increasingly connected world.

 

Together we’re working with the power of the ocean to move our world forward.

Our strength comes from the ocean. Every day we are in awe of its magnitude and beauty. It stirs the heart. Inspires the imagination.

We count ourselves lucky to work in such unique environmental settings and feel an affinity with the power and sheer vastness of the ocean. It speaks to the large-scale nature of our maritime operations.

The ocean is our most distinctive asset. It’s what drives us to believe in better. To seek our better ways to connect Western Australia with trade partners around the world.

Like the ocean, everything we do at Southern Ports is in a constant state of motion – from our bold thinking, to the way we connect our regions to global markets, and how we partner with our customers to find innovative solutions to move them forward.

What we stand by

We are guided by a set of core beliefs that define who we are and what we stand for.
