| | | | Welcome to the Spring edition of the Pilbara Portal and the first for this financial year.
We started the financial year by announcing record-breaking results in FY20/21 for Pilbara Ports Authority, with our total annual throughput across all ports reaching 724.7 million tonnes – an increase on the previous year when we exceeded 700 million tonnes for the first time. | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Record breaking year CEO Roger Johnston said the organisation's strong performance was a result of improved port efficiencies, which has helped to meet the strong demand for iron ore exports. | | | | |
| | Helping combat graffiti at Murujuga PPA is helping to combat graffiti at the National Heritage Listed Murujuga National Park with the delivery of Graffiti Management Training. | | | | |
| | Annual dredging campaign update This year's maintenance dredging program is almost complete. Dredging was completed at the Port of Ashburton in July and the dredge Juan Sebastian de Elcano and hydrographic survey vessel PHS Zephyr then moved to the Port of Dampier. | | | | |
| | Big moves at the Port of Dampier Moving mega-sized cargo is all in a day's work for the team at the Port of Dampier, but a 168 tonne heat exchanger for installation as part of the Woodside Pluto Interconnector Project highlighted the efficiency of PPA's processes. | | | | |
| | Port of Varanus Island added to PPA remit On 1 July, PPA added another port to its remit, with the transfer of responsibility for the Port of Varanus Island.

| | Milestone for anhydrous ammonia export The Port of Dampier Bulk Liquids Berth (BLB) played a role in a milestone reached in July. Yara Pilbara celebrated the successful export of 10 million tonnes of anhydrous ammonia from the BLB when the Quebec sailed in July. | | | | |
| | Direct shipping to the Pilbara opening up new markets Direct shipping to Western Australia's Pilbara region is gaining traction, with the arrival of the fourth shipping service into Port Hedland in early August. | | | | |
| | Hedland Maritime Initiative update Hedland Maritime Initiative (HMI), PPA's wholly-owned subsidiary responsible for delivering the Port Hedland Voluntary Buy-Back Scheme (PHVBS) and facilitating the development of a Maritime Precinct, continues to make good progress on both fronts. | | | | |
| | Spoilbank Marina footprint taking shape Construction of the Spoilbank Marina in Port Hedland is well underway. | | | | |
| | Investing in the Pilbara community PPA is a proud member of the Pilbara community and is committed to supporting its local communities. | | | | |
