About This Seaport
Around 149.9 million tonnes of coal left Newcastle in 2024, with a near-identical 149.1 million tonnes in 2025, confirming the New South Wales port (UN/LOCODE AU NTL) as the world's largest coal-export harbour. Most of that tonnage originates in the Hunter Valley and reaches the terminals via a dedicated coal rail network linking mines to shiploaders. Loading runs across three terminals: Carrington and Kooragang, both operated by Port Waratah Coal Services, plus the NCIG terminal run by Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group, for a combined capacity of about 211 million tonnes a year. Beyond coal, Newcastle handles grain, alumina, fertiliser, cement and general breakbulk, making it the largest bulk port on Australia's east coast. As a container port, however, its role is minimal: contractual arrangements protecting Port Botany long constrained the development of a large container terminal here. Forwarders moving dry bulk, project or breakbulk cargo will find capable facilities; regional container traffic, by contrast, routes through Port Botany in Sydney.
