About This Seaport
Three stevedores — DP World Australia, Patrick Terminals and Hutchison Ports — share Port Botany (AU BTB), the dominant container port of New South Wales and the gateway for greater Sydney. Together the terminals offer twelve berths along roughly 3,792 m of quay, handle about 2.8 million TEU a year — some 99.6% of the state's container volume — and hold capacity above 7 million TEU. Hutchison's terminal runs automated stacking cranes, and the channel (over 14 m) accommodates large container vessels. Adjacent facilities also handle liquid bulk and petroleum products. On-dock rail is a standout: around 440,000 TEU a year move inland by train. From June 2025 DP World and NSW Ports are co-investing about A$400 million in five new rail sidings that double DP World's rail capacity from 400,000 to 1 million TEU, after Patrick doubled its own rail capacity to 1 million TEU in early 2024. Customs and import processing run through the Australian Border Force, with biosecurity inspection a key step. For importers on Australia's east coast, Melbourne and Brisbane are the nearest container alternatives.
