This multi-user port and strategic industrial area accommodates natural gas processing for liquid natural gas (LNG) exports to overseas markets and domestic gas to Western Australian intra-state markets.
The port was originally constructed to support the development of the Wheatstone LNG and domestic gas project.
Pilbara Ports assumed full operational and management control of the port, following the completion of construction of the project. LNG exports commenced in October 2017, and condensate exports commenced in March 2018.
The Port of Ashburton currently handles the following commodities:
