Creator's Key Takeaways

Welcome to the world's biggest bulk port this is the port of Port Hedland

The harbor of Port Hedland facilitates the movement of up to 16 ships that's four thousand ship movements a year

It's a significantly challenging port from a Mariners perspective the channels quite narrow at its narrowest point only 183 metres wide

The reason we use helicopters is that one it's far safer but mainly because it's quicker to get our pilots on
