About Karumba (AUKRB) Shipping Schedules
Karumba, located at -17.48806, 140.8288, is a small but vital port in Queensland's Gulf of Carpentaria, operating under AUKRB. Established in the early 1900s as a fishing and supply base, it now supports regional logistics, mining exports, and commercial fishing operations. The port handles shipments of live cattle, zinc concentrate from the Century Mine, and seasonal cargo for the Gulf communities. Karumba connects to Darwin, Weipa, and nearby island supply chains, offering shallow draft facilities suitable for barge and lighter vessel traffic. Fishing fleets also use Karumba as a base for prawns and barramundi exports. The port is a crucial lifeline for isolated areas during the wet season, when roads become impassable. Sailing schedules at Karumba Port are essential for coordinating export operations, barge logistics, and marine supply deliveries to remote Queensland towns.
