Australian Water Transport

Australian water transport involves moving people and goods across the country’s extensive waterways, including rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. It includes ferries, boats, and ships that connect cities, remote communities, and islands, as well as cargo ships handling imports and exports via major ports. Water transport is vital for regional access, especially in areas with limited road infrastructure, and supports industries like fishing, tourism, and shipping. It is managed through a combination of government agencies, ports, and private companies, ensuring efficient, safe, and sustainable movement across Australia’s diverse aquatic environments.
