Introduction Port of Eden

The Port of Eden is the southern most declared port in NSW and services the south coast of NSW, including the towns of Bega, Merimbula, Bombala and Cooma. The Port is home to one of the largest fishing fleets in NSW and also has significant capacity to service the needs of a variety of importers and exporters.


Woodchip export is currently the major trade for the port. In the financial year ended 30 June 2009, 908,382 mass tones were exported by South East Fibre Exports Pty Ltd to customers in Japan and Taiwan. This trade is supplemented by exports of softwood logs and general cargo from the Multi-Purpose Wharf. 


NSW Maritime is the manager of the Port of Eden and provides a Harbour Master, pilotage services, hydrographic surveys, management of wharves, port security functions and ongoing investment in infrastructure. 


To facilitate trade NSW Maritime has developed an 8 hectare cargo storage facility which was opened in 2006 and located adjacent to the Multi Purpose Wharf.
