The Port of Rockhampton (PoR), formerly known as the Port Alma Shipping Terminal, is key to our strategic advantage. It plays a critical role handling hazardous goods for our nation. The Port of Rockhampton can handle large quantities of ammonium nitrate (Class 5.1 under the IMDG Code) and explosives (Class 1). It’s capacity to handle large quantities of ammonium nitrate and explosives is amongst the highest in Australia, providing an appropriate corridor for the import or export of these cargoes. The Queensland Government Magazine is located at Bajool, only 26 kilometres from the port. Destinations for Ammonium nitrate cargoes are typically throughout Queensland for mining purposes, while explosives have been transported overland as far as Victoria and Western Australia.
