Gladstone Ports Corporation

Gladstone Ports Corporation (GPC) is a Government Owned Corporation (GOC) in Gladstone, Australia. It describes itself as a world-leading multi-commodity port, citing its deep water harbour, landholdings and proximity to Asia. Its formal history began in 1914 with the first meeting of the Gladstone Harbour Board, and it operates wharf centres including Auckland Point and Barney Point.

GPC states that its formal history began in 1914 with the first meeting of the Gladstone Harbour Board. A series of history books were produced to celebrate the Port of Gladstone's 100-year journey, each covering a 20-year period of GPC's stewardship of the port. Shipping in Gladstone began at Auckland Point in the 1880s, initially handling live horse exports; the facility has since undergone numerous expansions and today consists of four wharves handling more than two million tonnes of cargo annually. Gladstone's cruise industry commenced in March 2016, berthing at Auckland Point. At Barney Point, Thiess Peabody Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd expressed interest in using port land to export Moura coal; the first shipment of 1,600 tonnes of Moura coal was exported on 9 August 1967 aboard MV Sangoh Maru, and the facility was officially opened on 9 March 1968. The then Gladstone Port Authority became the owners and operators of the facility in November 1998.

A world-leading multi-commodity port positioned for Queensland's future through its deep water harbour, landholdings and proximity to Asia.
