Port Hedland is located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Our major export commodity is iron ore, followed by Spodumene (Lithium), Copper concentrate, salt and manganese. Port Hedland operates 24/7 everyday, is the world's largest bulk minerals export port, and Australia's largest port based on total annual tonnes throughput. It was the first Port in Australia to exceed 100 Million Tonnes throughput in a year (2004/05), and in the 2021/23 financial year had a record throughput of over 733 million tonnes. Some ships loaded with iron ore in Port Hedland have the capacity to carry up to 270,000 tonnes each, the current largest single cargo record being the HL Tubarao with 270,006 tonnes sailing in March 2017.
