PILBARA Ports has delivered a sixth consecutive year of record throughput.
Ports minister, Stephen Dawson, said the record came despite the challenging global economic environment.
Mr Dawson said it was great to see the team at Pilbara Ports solidify itself as one of Australia’s most valuable ports.
“The Cook Government has been proud to support key infrastructure projects including the Spoilbank Marina and the Lumsden Point project,” he said.
“These infrastructure projects not only benefit our national economy but also generate local jobs in the region to support a future made in WA.”
Pilbara MLA Kevin Michel said local business and the Pilbara community would benefit from the success.
“I am proud of our ports, which are among the world’s largest bulk export ports and play a significant role in the nation’s iron ore exports.”
