Resources for students

The Port of Melbourne is an exciting, dynamic place to be.

Enormous ships come from all around the world to dock here. Machinery costing multi-millions of dollars and looking like something out of Star Wars manipulates massive amounts of cargo each day. Everything, from computer parts to cars and clothes to cosmetics is transported through the Port of Melbourne.

Imports such as music systems, runners, exotic foods and furniture are found in all our homes and Australia makes billions of dollars by sending things produced here to eager customers overseas through our port.

Find out about what really goes on in the world of shipping by exploring the resources collected here.
