Around 2.7 to 2.8 million TEU a year move through Port Botany, Sydney's container gateway and Australia's second-largest box port — but they do not pass through Sydney Harbour itself. The natural harbour of Port Jackson (UN/LOCODE AU SYD) instead handles cruise traffic and, at Glebe Island and White Bay, dry bulk, bulk liquids, cement, gypsum, general and project cargo. Roughly 1,200 ships, including more than 300 cruise vessels, call at the harbour each year. The Port Authority of New South Wales runs harbour operations, while the container terminals at Port Botany fall under NSW Ports. Rail and road link the port to the New South Wales interior. Shippers moving containers should book Port Botany; bulk and project parcels for the city centre suit the Glebe Island and White Bay berths.
