Eight wharf precincts with some twenty berths give Gladstone the muscle to move more than 111 million tonnes a year (FY2023-24), placing this Queensland port among the world's leading bulk-export gateways. Coal dominates at roughly 70 percent, shipped through the RG Tanna Coal Terminal and the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal (WICET). Three LNG trains on Curtis Island — Australia Pacific LNG, Santos GLNG and Queensland Curtis LNG — load liquefied gas, while Queensland Alumina at South Trees and Boyne Smelters add alumina and aluminium. Cement, petroleum and agricultural products pass through Barney Point, Auckland Point and Fisherman's Landing under Gladstone Ports Corporation. Aurizon's Blackwater and Moura rail systems connect the port to the inland coalfields. Containers are effectively absent here; box traffic belongs to Brisbane, while Hay Point and Dalrymple Bay handle additional coal.
