PORT OF DARWIN

The Vital link in the AustralAsia Trade Route

 

Darwin – capital of Australia's Northern Territory is positioned to play a pivotal role in the nation’s future industrial growth and in the ongoing expansion of the entire AustralAsian region.

Darwin has long been Australia’s pre-eminent port for the export of live cattle and is now becoming the region’s primary service and supply base for offshore and onshore oil and gas projects.

The significant growth in exploration, mining and oil & gas projects in the region, including activity in the Timor Sea, presents an immediate opportunity for Darwin to further develop its logistical support capacity.

With its modern international airport terminal, connections to the national road and rail network and world-class seaport facilities, the city is recognised as the linchpin which links Australia’s trade, communications, transport and logistics networks to those of south east Asia and beyond.
