OVERVIEW:
A naturally-sheltered port comprising a single jetty handling exports of sugar, molasses,
woodchips and livestock. Also imports breakbulk and occasionally fuel (products).
The Port of Mourilyan is situated at the mouth of the Moresby River and is approximately
1600 km. north of Brisbane and 20 km. to the south of the city of Innisfail. The port
was established primarily for the export of raw sugar and molasses from the surrounding
sugar mills and is serviced by a bulk sugar terminal which loads ships via a travelling
rail mounted gantry at 1900 t/h. Occasionally live cattle, magnetite, and woodchips
are also exported from the port. Shipping legislation in Queensland is controlled
by Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ), a branch of the Department of Transport and Main
Roads.
