Some 13.6 million tonnes of cargo and around 1,060 ship calls a year make Geelong Victoria's second-busiest port and Australia's sixth-largest by tonnage. Spread across 15 berths at Corio Quay and Lascelles Wharf, the trade is built on bulk liquids — crude oil, petroleum products and chemicals feeding the Viva Energy refinery — alongside dry bulk such as grain, fertilisers, cement clinker, soybean meal and woodchips. Break bulk including steel and timber rounds out the mix, with customers like GrainCorp, Incitec Pivot, Midway and Boral. Containers are essentially absent; nearby Melbourne is the box port for the region. Road and rail tie the port into Victoria's grain belt and industrial hinterland. A channel of about 12.3 m sets the practical limit on vessel size.
