This investment aims to enhance port infrastructure and boost trade efficiency, supporting the state’s economy.
Accenture has secured a contract worth AUS$13.6 million ($9.1 million) to modernize over 22 essential assets, such as ship loaders, rotary car dumpers, and conveyors. These upgrades will improve the efficiency and reliability of equipment crucial for transporting containers, tankers, and bulk cargo.
The three ports collectively handle over 37 million tonnes of trade each year, and this project is designed to streamline their operations. Ports Minister David Michael emphasized the importance of advanced port infrastructure for facilitating trade and maintaining competitiveness in the global market.
The upgrades are expected to be completed by late 2026, positioning the ports as efficient, future-ready gateways capable of meeting diverse global trade demands. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to foster economic growth in Western Australia.
Earlier this year, the Western Australian government also announced a AUS$373 million ($250 million) investment for further enhancements to port infrastructure in its 2024-2025 budget.
