Weipa, Abbot Point, Mackay and Hay Point trading ports all come under the care and authority of North Queensland Bulk Ports.
Around half of Queensland’s trade by tonnage passes through our operating ports. In line with our mission, we take great care to provide safe, sustainable and competitive seaport services to efficiently facilitate the increasing tonnages of imports and exports through our Queensland ports.
As a port authority, we’re responsible for:
Port pilotage operations and navigation are the responsibility of NQBP for the Ports of Hay Point and Mackay. The Port of Townsville provides pilotage services for the Port of Abbot Point and Ports North is responsible for pilotage services at Weipa. Stevedoring and towage services are outsourced to approved contractors at all of NQBP’s ports.

Planning for evolving and transitioning trade |
Our trade is progressively evolving and transitioning to new industries due to forces external and independent to NQBP. The decisions we make today – in planning, policy, advocacy, infrastructure, the allocation of funds and the way we work – will pave the way for future trades to be facilitated. |
Collaborating to enhance reputation |
Partnerships and collaboration are essential for not only our success, but for the success of our customers, stakeholders and the community. We take the time to understand the needs and ambitions of our stakeholders and seek to develop mutually-beneficial partnerships based on long-term success. |
Embrace existing and new businesses |
Our current trades will remain a strong contributor to the Queensland economy for many years to come while transitioning at different paces due to decisions made by our customers, government and the community. We value our current trades while leveraging this expertise to demonstrate that we are open to new businesses that grow our throughput. |
Enhancing employee engagement and efficiency |
We believe outward success is built on a foundation of investing in our people and systems. We seek to attract, develop and retain a diverse workforce where everyone understands their role, where performance is recognised, and where the right systems and resources are at hand. |
We stand by our actions and NQBP's values even when no-one is watching.
We strive to deliver the best outcomes while being committed to continuous learning and improvement.
We care for and treat everyone fairly, recognising and appreciating diversity.
We share a common purpose to achieve positive outcomes for our organisation and regions.
