To facilitate direct shipping to the region and connect the possibilities of the Pilbara to the world, Pilbara Ports has invested in biosecurity infrastructure and services.
To promote this opportunity, we are offering discounted Class 14.4 Rural Tailgate Inspections and other benefits while we establish direct freight shipping into the region.
In addition to this, Pilbara Ports will provide full inspection reports and one container re-inspection within the Rural Tailgate Inspection fee.
The Port of Port Hedland offers the following biosecurity approved arrangements:
Charges for Pilbara Ports services and facilities can be found on our fees and charges page.

Biosecurity is critical to prevent, respond to and recover from pests and diseases that threaten the economy and environment.
This responsibility is shared by government, industry, and the general community.
Pests and diseases can be transported through Australian Ports from overseas vessels and cargo. It is important that all individuals and organisations involved in direct shipping are aware of the risks and treatment processes.
For further information on protecting our borders, please refer to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry website.
