It is about 200 nautical miles north of Melbourne Port, about 30 nautical miles east of Devonport Port, about 90 nautical miles west of Launceston Port, and about 40 nautical miles west of Lata Port. The port area is protected by two breakwaters, one inside and one outside. The island breakwater is built on the island foundation and located northeast of the port area; The inner harbor breakwater is built on the black reef in the north of the harbor area and extends southeast. The two breakwaters are connected by a wharf and oil pipelines, as there is an oil tanker dock for importing oil inside the island breakwater. The inner side of the inner breakwater has been widened into an ocean going ship dock, with a water depth of 8-10 meters, capable of accommodating ships up to 270 meters long. There are four protruding dikes extending from north to south in the east of the port area: MCGAW pier, located south of the ocean terminal, with a length of 213 meters on the north side and a water depth of 6.5-9.1 meters along the edge, equipped with one 12 ton and one 25 ton shore crane each; The south side is 183 meters long, with a water depth of 10 meters, and there is a 28 ton shore crane on the shore. JONES protruding embankment, narrow and elongated, with only 198 meters long on the south side and a water depth of 11.5 meters, is used for loading and unloading containers and roll on/roll off cargo. There is a 65 ton loading and unloading bridge on the dock. The yard has a protruding embankment, triangular shape, with a bulk cargo berth on the northeast side, 213 meters long and 11 meters deep, used for loading and unloading zinc, lead, and copper ore for export. The loading efficiency is 1270 tons per hour, and the southern outer section is 200 meters deep and 10 meters deep, serving as a berth for loading and unloading general cargo. Container and roll on/roll off terminals are located in the southwest harbor basin of the general cargo berth. The top of the south pier is a passenger terminal.
