  • New Livestock Export Infrastructure Operational At The Port of Port Hedland

A new cattle loading ramp at the Port of Port Hedland is now fully operational and ready to take its first shipment of cattle.

Landside Operations Manager, Jon Giles said that although the Port of Port Hedland has always had the capacity to ship livestock from the port, the cattle loading ramp would provide an improved and more efficient operation for port users and livestock.

“The new loading ramp will enable cattle to be offloaded from both the top and bottom levels of a cattle truck simultaneously, making it a faster process for customers as well as being a safer way to transfer the livestock from truck to vessel.

“The new loading ramp represents best practice in animal welfare as well as the capability of loading up to 600 head of cattle per hour,” he said.

Mr Giles said the commissioning of the new loading ramp was the final part of the infrastructure upgrade to the Port of Port Hedland.

“Prior to commissioning the loading ramp, Pilbara Ports Authority updated the port’s procedures and invested in additional upgrades such as heavy duty and chainable fence panels to delineate Berth 1 from Berth 2,” he said.

Mr Giles said that much of the heightened interest in Pilbara livestock exports is linked to recently negotiated trade agreements, which could lead to a significant increase in demand for export cattle out from the Pilbara region.

“By putting in the infrastructure now, Pilbara Ports Authority is preparing to accommodate for larger cattle shipments. Planning is currently underway for a long-term solution to cater for an increase in cattle numbers when exports ramp up,” he said.
