AU FRE Port (Fremantle) – Terminals, Draft, Agents

About This Seaport

DP World (CT1/CT2) and Patrick (CT3/CT4) operate the two container terminals in Fremantle's Inner Harbour, both having recently signed fresh ten-year leases, giving Western Australia its principal box gateway (AU FRE). The port handled around 892,000 TEU in 2024/25, worked by post-panamax cranes. Beyond containers, it handles RoRo automotive cargo, live cattle exports, and cruise and naval calls. Dry and liquid bulk — grain, fertiliser, mineral sands and fuels — is processed at the Outer Harbour at Kwinana rather than the Inner Harbour. Inland reach centres on metropolitan Perth, with rail links to the Kewdale and Forrestfield intermodal terminals. Australian Border Force manages customs clearance. Under the Westport project, the state government plans to relocate container operations to Kwinana over the longer term (around 2040), allowing larger vessels and added capacity. For straightforward bulk needs, Kwinana is the right call, while container liner services remain concentrated at Fremantle.
