The Port of Port Hedland has seen an 800 per cent year-on-year increase in its container volumes in March 2022.

As published in the latest report from the Pilbara Ports Authority, the port handled 6,674.66 tonnes (278.11 TEU) last month.

Of this total, 6,281.06 tonnes (261.71 TEU) was made up of imports , whereas the remaining 393.60 TEU (16.4 TEU) came from exports..

Trade with the Southeast Asian container hub has boomed over the last year and is arguably the main reason behind the considerable increase in volumes.
