The Port of Fremantle operates through two harbours. The Inner Harbour at Fremantle handles almost all of the container trade for Western Australia. It also provides facilities for livestock exports, motor vehicle imports, other general cargo trades, cruise ships and visiting naval vessels.The Outer Harbour, about 22km to the south at Kwinana, is one of Australia’s major bulk cargo ports handling grain, petroleum, liquid petroleum gas, alumina, mineral sands, fertilisers, coal, sulphur, iron ore and other bulk commodities.Three of the jetties in the Outer Harbour are operated by private companies, generally under Special Agreement Acts with the State. They are the Alcoa, BP and CBH Group jetties. Kwinana Bulk Jetty and the Kwinana Bulk Terminal are operated by Fremantle Ports.The port is a mix of facilities and services managed by Fremantle Ports and private operators. Fremantle Ports provides and maintains shipping channels, navigation aids, cargo wharves at common user areas and leased terminals, the Fremantle Passenger Terminal, road and rail transport infrastructure in the port area, moles and seawalls and other port infrastructure such as storage sheds, water, power and public amenities.Services such as towage, pilotage (under contract to Fremantle Ports), line boats and bunkering are provided by the private sector.Fremantle Ports also cooperates with Commonwealth Government agencies responsible for customs, quarantine and maritime safety.

Home port to the Commonwealth Lighthouse Tender Vessel MV Cape Don" from 1963 to 1990.Originally servicing all maritime navaids from Esperance to Groote Eylandt.From the early 80's she also took over the southern regions of SA

It's a port. If you don't have a MSIC you don't need to know what's going on.

Cruise ship drop off point.

Very professionally run.

We go into Administration building for port access pass card...very helpful staff...this place is out there amazing... everything is biggest/largest in the world...Road Train trucks/Front end loaders and dozers...Rail Trains and wagons/rolling stock...Bulk Iron ore carrying Ships...Tug boats...

Nice location to visit. The interior of the building has a retro flair to it. There is a big model of a ship that was built by the well known Vickers Armstrong group in the foyer, there was also a big bell.The ceiling of the building, is spectacular to gaze upon. It is also the place to get access cards to the port.There are a few parking bays outside the building to park in. There is also a pick up and drop off driveway which is pretty neat.Outside of the building, there is a monument dedicated to C.Y O'Conner one of Western Australia's famous engineers, most notable for the Mundaring Weir to Kalgoorlie pipeline. Which provided infrastructure project to miners in the middle of nowhere.
