DP World, Patrick Terminals and Brisbane Container Terminals operate Brisbane's three highly automated container facilities, between them lifting a record 1.62 million TEU in FY2024/25. Overall trade rose 7.8% to 34.9 million tonnes, including roughly 693,000 TEU of full imports and 395,000 TEU of full exports. DP World runs berths 4–7, Patrick berths 8–10 with 35 automated straddle carriers, and Brisbane Container Terminals berths 11–12. Beyond boxes, the port handles vehicles, petroleum, grain and dry bulk. For forwarders, Brisbane is Queensland's primary sea gateway, served by road and a dedicated freight-rail link inland. Australian imports face strict biosecurity and quarantine checks, with clearance through the Australian Border Force. Reefer containers and dangerous goods are handled routinely. Where sailing options are limited, Sydney's Port Botany and Melbourne are the larger alternatives.
