The North Queensland Export Terminal is an export gateway of strategic importance to both Queensland and Australia.

The Terminal is a key component in the state and national transport network and supply chain.

Its location in natural deep water at Bowen, and close proximity to rail transport, facilitates efficient access for coal mines in the Bowen and Galilee resource basins.

Queensland coal, and the Queensland resources sector, are recognised for the world-class quality of commodities, expertise and efficiency.

The Terminal is a critical part of this supply chain and provides vital infrastructure for the transport of coal from Queensland to the world.

Coal exports are the largest single contributor to Queensland’s export earnings. Coal exports generate the royalties that are a mainstay of the Queensland budget and the economic activity generated by the industry from the jobs it supports and the many businesses that depend on it, provides a strong foundation for the Queensland economy.
