About This Seaport
Pipelines, tankers and steel wharves rather than container cranes define Western Port (UN/LOCODE AU WEP, port town Hastings), an energy and industrial harbour south-east of Melbourne. Esso's Long Island Point jetty exports Gippsland Basin crude oil and LPG, while the Crib Point jetty imports refined fuels for United Petroleum. Separately, BlueScope Steel runs its own wharves for importing and exporting steel products, adding bulk and breakbulk steel-industry traffic. Channel depths near 14 metres handle large tankers and bulkers, with road and rail links running toward Melbourne. Containerised or customs-cleared general cargo belongs at the Port of Melbourne instead. A proposed renewable-energy terminal at Old Tyabb may broaden the port's role in coming years.
