Cargo handling and stevedoring

At our Port of Esperance, we manage a wide variety of cargo handling and stevedoring services and processes in port – in-loading, out-loading, storage, and vessel loading. 

With a large range of critical assets and infrastructure, our cargo handling and stevedoring services offer port-wide efficiency, reliability and an integrated service.

Third party stevedores operate across our ports, particularly Albany and Bunbury, as well as Esperance.
