Whilst Gladstone is internationally recognised as a major bulk port, facilities have been established in the port to cater for all forms of containerised and general cargoes. Containerised cargoes are mainly sourced from local major industry and include primarily aluminium, chemicals and cement. General cargoes include breakbulk cargoes such as bagged products and aluminium, project cargo for new/expanding industry and heavy lifts.

Auckland Point No.4 Wharf and the adjacent Gladstone Container Terminal are used to handle all containerised and general cargoes. Both the wharf and terminal are operated as multi-user facilities.

Two stevedoring companies operate in the port - Patrick and Total Stevedoring. A number of transport and logistics companies also operate in the port. Contact details for these companies are available from our Port Information Handbook.

A regular shipping service NGPL operates a fortnightly service from Gladstone calling direct to ports in northern Australia, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.

Further information on the port's facilities for handling containerised and general cargoes at Auckland Point No.4 and the Gladstone Container Terminal is available from our Port Information Handbook.

The latest statistics for all of the port's container and general cargo trades are available in the Latest Statistics section. Detailed statistics by cargo, wharf, month, financial and calendar year are available in the Port Statistics section.
