Ports
Queensland Transport provides policy and strategic advice on the planning, funding and performance of the Queensland ports system, including the operations 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 ports
The Queensland coastline is host to 18 modern and efficient trading ports, two community ports, and a number of non-trading 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
Maritime Safety Queensland is a government agency attached to Queensland Transport. It protects Queensland's waterways and the people who use them—providing safer, cleaner seas. Maritime Safety Queensland also controls some maritime services, including pilotage services in regional ports.
