In the 2025-26 financial year, Pilbara Ports managed a record volume of 804.1 million tonnes of bulk cargo exports and imports through the ports of Ashburton, Dampier, Port Hedland, and Varanus Island, surpassing the previous record of 775.7 million tonnes set in 2024-25.
This marks the largest year-on-year increase in Pilbara Ports' annual trade since 2017-18, and the record result represents an estimated value of $150 billion in exports.
Pilbara Ports CEO, Samuel McSkimming, stated that "moving over 800 million tonnes safely through our ports is a significant achievement. This result belongs to the people who keep our ports and export supply chains operating safely every day, and who bring teamwork and dedication to that task."
"This reflects disciplined execution, strong partnerships, and Pilbara's ability to keep trade moving for customers worldwide. Every safe vessel visit to one of our ports helps maintain global confidence in our supply chains and ensures that customers can continue to access the resources they depend on," the executive pointed out.
The Port of Port Hedland contributed significantly to the result, recording a cargo volume of 580.4 million tonnes during the 2025-26 financial year.
Iron ore exports across all ports increased by 4%, reaching 759.4 million tonnes, while LNG and salt totaled 26 million tonnes and 5.3 million tonnes respectively.
Pilbara Ports recorded 9,499 vessel calls during the year, representing a 9% increase compared to the previous financial year and an average of 26 calls per day.
