About Cape Preston (AUCPN) Shipping Schedules
Cape Preston, located at -20.82905, 116.1924, is a privately operated deepwater port in Western Australia that operates under AUCPN. Commissioned in the 2010s, it is owned by CITIC Pacific Mining and built specifically to export magnetite concentrate from the Sino Iron project. The port handles large bulk carriers transporting iron ore products primarily to China. Cape Preston is one of the few magnetite-exporting ports in Australia and is equipped with its own desalination plant and power station. It has a long shipping channel that supports Capesize vessels. While closed to public and commercial traffic, it plays a major role in supporting one of the largest mining investments in the Southern Hemisphere. Sailing schedules at Cape Preston Port are tightly aligned with production cycles and vessel availability for iron ore shipping.
