Which ports handle major coal and cargo shipments in New South Wales?

In New South Wales, the primary ports responsible for handling major coal and cargo shipments are Newcastle, Port Kembla, and Botany Bay (Port Botany).1

Historically, Sydney’s port functions were centered at Port Jackson, but due to congestion, these operations have largely shifted to Botany Bay, which is now a major hub for container ships.12

Newcastle and Port Kembla serve as critical centers for the export and transport of a variety of goods, including:
* Coal1
* Grains1
* Containers1
* Bulk liquids1
* Alumina and bauxite (aluminum ore)1

Both Newcastle and Sydney remain among Australia's top ports when measured by the total weight and value of their cargo.1
