Port-side storage and staging removing the need to occupy land off site
Only Port of Newcastle has the space and flexibility to securely store and stage shipments on its large parcels of berth-side land prior to transportation. We remove the need to transport cargo and occupy land offsite for storage – saving our customers both time and money.
A reconfiguration of the Port’s internal roads also allows for the efficient transportation of extra-long, bulky cargoes from the berth to the storage area, reducing the need to access external roads for delivery of cargo to storage and staging areas in off-site locations.

As storage needs change over the life of a project, we give customers room to breathe by offering the flexibility to expand and reduce licensed storage areas as required.
