Ports
The Department of Transport and Main Roads provides policy and strategic advice on the planning, funding and performance of Queensland's port system, including overseeing the operation of the state's port authorities.
The department assists in the administration of strategic port land and tenure issues, and provides policy and procedural advice about government-owned corporations.
In addition to overseeing the port authorities, we provide strategic policy advice on port network issues and general maritime and shipping policy.
Queensland's ports
The Queensland coastline is host to 15 modern and efficient trading ports, two community ports, and three smaller gazetted ports located at regular intervals from Brisbane in the south east to Karumba in the north west.
Find out more about the administration and management of these ports.

Maritime Safety Queensland also controls some maritime services including pilotage services and vessel traffic services.
