About This Seaport
Burnie (AU BWT) handled around 199,000 TEU and 3.6 million tonnes of freight in the nine months to March 2025, underlining its standing as Tasmania's largest general cargo port on Bass Strait. Operated by TasPorts, this deep-water harbour combines a container terminal of roughly 250,000 TEU annual capacity, a bulk terminal for agricultural products and the Burnie Chip Export Terminal (BCET) for woodchips, serving forestry, mining, fuel and container trades — about 45% of Tasmania's container traffic passes through here. Its Bass Strait link to mainland Australia is run by Strait Link, whose Burnie operations were extended for up to 30 years in 2025. Road and rail connect the port to northern Tasmania's industrial hinterland. For importers and exporters it is the island's principal cargo gateway, complemented by Devonport and Bell Bay (Launceston).
