Grain, woodchips, logs, livestock and aluminium ingots — not containers — make up the working cargo of Portland, one of Victoria's four major commercial ports. Exports flow from the GrainCorp grain terminal, hardwood and softwood chip stockpiles, timber yards and the nearby Alcoa smelter, while imports centre on alumina, petroleum coke, fertiliser, sulphuric acid and liquid pitch feeding that smelter. The port moves roughly 3 million tonnes across about 200 vessel calls a year. Hinterland reach covers western Victoria and South Australia via road and the broad-gauge rail line. Box shipments should be routed through Melbourne, with Geelong the nearest alternative for agricultural bulk. Multipurpose berths also handle project and heavy-lift consignments.
