Port Kembla is a suburb of Wollongong 8 km south
of the CBD and part of the Illawarra region of New
South Wales. Port Kembla comprises a seaport,
industrial complex (one of the largest in Australia),
a small harbour
foreshore nature reserve, and a small commercial
sector.

Port Kembla Harbour is a major export location for
coal mined in the southern and western regions of
New South Wales. As part of the
state governments plan to divert ships containing
auto mobiles, the port has received significant
upgrades and infrastructure including a new
Maritime Office and many jobs have been created
as the need for port logistics grows. Patrick
Corporation holds a contract
for integrated port services in the harbour and
transports goods by road or rail through
its parent company Pacific National.
