THE
WORLD’S
LEADING
PORT
Who we are
The Port Hedland Port Authority (PHPA) is the largest
bulk minerals export Port in the world. This vital
infrastructure serves the mineral rich Eastern Pilbara
region in Western Australia. Its major export commodity
is iron ore. Not only is the PHPA Australia’s largest
Port based on total annual tonnes throughput, but
in 2004/05 it was also the first Port in Australia to
exceed the 100 million tonnes throughput milestone,
and finished marginally below the 200 million tonne
milestone in 2010/11.
The PHPA is a statutory authority owned by the Western
Australian Government and has a charter to operate
along commercial lines. One of the PHPA’s major
functions is the control of all shipping through the
Port. The PHPA facilitates trade through the Port in a
safe and efficient manner, and minimises the impact
of Port activities on the environment. The PHPA aims
to maximise the loaded capacity of ships through the
use of world leading technology that allows the PHPA
to maintain minimum safe under keel clearances. The
PHPA also has a responsibility to plan for and manage
new developments whilst protecting the environment of
the Port.
Vision
The world’s leading Port, helping to create a sustainable
region.
Mission
To safely, profitably, sustainably, efficiently and
innovatively operate the Port to promote, facilitate and
expand regional trade.
Values
Respect - operate fairly and honestly in all dealings with
all stakeholders.
Excellence - strive to be the best in all we do, and
maintain strong focus on continuous improvement and
innovation.
Courage - do the right thing every time, act with integrity
in all we do, and always speak up.
