BHPort Hedland Ltd

The port was heavily developed in the 1960s, when Mount Goldsworthy Mining Associates, later acquired by BHP, dredged an approach channel and turning basin for ships. It has 15 berths capable of handling ships between 25,000 DWT and 320,000 DWT. In 2020, we began exploring options to increase our export capacity at Port Hedland Ports. The ports are linked to a number of our mines in the Pilbara region, including Newman, Mining Area C, Yandi and Jimblebar.
