Port Agent Port Latta

Port Latta Ship Agency and Port Services

Run your bulk carriers on schedule at this north-west Tasmanian mining export port.

VertomCory covers Port Latta from the Burnie office, managing port agency for the mineral and bulk traffic at this remote facility.

Port Latta exports magnetite iron ore pellets from the Savage River mine. The ore travels via a dedicated slurry pipeline to the pelletising plant and ship loading facility at Port Latta on the Bass Strait coast.

The terminal is a single-commodity operation handling capesize and panamax vessels.

Smooth Mining Export Operations at Port Latta

Keep delays down with pre-arrival coordination of Bass Strait pilotage, berthing at the offshore loading jetty, and TasPorts authority liaison managed by the Burnie team.

Keep the call compliant with Australian biosecurity, TasPorts environmental, and Tasmanian EPA requirements throughout the loading call. Documentation, DPIPWE biosecurity clearance, and any mining export certification are managed on your behalf.
