We’re proud to support the 2026 AMPI Regional Ports & Pilotage Conference as Host Port Sponsor and to welcome the marine pilotage community to Darwin.

Collaboration across the maritime sector is essential to building safer, stronger and more efficient operations, and events like this provide an important platform for industry leaders and professionals to connect, share knowledge and explore the future of our sector.

As Northern Australia’s gateway port, Darwin Port plays a critical role in supporting trade, regional connectivity and maritime operations. We look forward to showcasing everything Darwin has to offer and contributing to conversations that continue to strengthen our industry.

Thank you to the Australasian Marine Pilots Institute for the opportunity to support an event that brings together expertise, innovation and collaboration across the maritime sector. We look forward to welcoming delegates to Darwin and contributing to meaningful discussions that help shape the future of our industry.

A huge thank you to Darwin Port for their incredible support as Host Port Sponsor of the 2026 AMPI Darwin Conference 2026.

We are incredibly grateful for the hospitality, enthusiasm and support shown by the Darwin Port team throughout the planning of this event. Their commitment has played a major role in helping us bring the pilotage community together in Darwin for what is shaping up to be one of our best conferences yet.

Darwin Port’s support highlights their strong commitment to the maritime industry, professional development, and collaboration across the pilotage sector. As a key gateway to Northern Australia and the broader region, Darwin Port continues to play an important role in supporting safe and efficient maritime operations.

We are proud to be partnering with such a welcoming and forward-thinking organisation and look forward to showcasing everything Darwin has to offer to delegates this June.

Progress has continued on the Pond F reclamation project at East Arm Wharf, delivering an additional 10,000 square metres of operational hardstand to support future trade growth and stevedoring operations at Darwin Port.

Preliminary reclamation activities have now been completed, enabling preloading throughout the wet season, with inground infrastructure and sealing works to follow in April 2027. Once complete, the strategically located space will strengthen operational efficiency and provide additional capacity close to key port infrastructure.

This project also complements the newly completed hardstand development near the East Arm entry gate, which has now reached practical completion and is ready for operational use. Together, the two projects will deliver an additional 35,000 square metres of hardstand capacity across Darwin Port.

This is another step forward in ensuring Darwin Port continues to deliver safe, reliable and future-focused infrastructure supporting Northern Australia’s supply chain.

Darwin Port were keen to participate in the 2026 CDU Engineering & Environment Careers Fair, alongside other industry professionals, there to connect with the next wave of graduates.

Our team enjoyed engaging with those in attendance about the diverse career pathways available in their fields and highlighted the opportunities in port environments and what makes the maritime industry overall such a dynamic and rewarding place to build a career.

A big thank you to Charles Darwin University for hosting another successful event, and to all the people who stopped by to chat with the team. The Territory’s future is bright, and Darwin Port are excited to be part of professional growth in these sectors. 👏

On Thursday 30th April the Royal Australian Navy hosted a reception to celebrate their 125 year anniversary, on the picturesque grounds of HMAS Coonawarra, Darwin. Representatives of Darwin Port were delighted to attend this historic milestone event to reflect on and recognise the Navy’s past and honour its contributions in protecting Australia’s maritime interests.

Attended by senior navy leadership & personnel, members of parliament and distinguished guests, the evening was a fitting tribute commemorated through blessings, speeches, ceremonial toasts, and performances by the RAN Band.

As the host Port of major multinational maritime defence exercises ‘Talisman Sabre’ and ‘Kakadu’, Darwin Port are proud and privileged to be a key partner with RAN. We remain committed to working together and supporting the delivery of Naval operational excellence, capability and advancing maritime security in Northern Australia.
