Cape Preston Port Company (CPPC) Pty Ltd is a company known for operating the Cape Preston Port, located in Western Australia. This deep-water port is integral to the mining and export operations in the region, particularly for the Sino Iron Project, which is one of the largest magnetite iron ore mining and processing operations in Australia.


CPPC is responsible for managing the logistics and infrastructure required to handle large volumes of iron ore. This includes facilities for the loading and unloading of bulk carriers, stockpiling areas, and the necessary equipment to ensure the efficient movement of materials. The port plays a critical role in the export chain, allowing mined resources to be shipped to international markets, primarily in Asia.


The company focuses on maintaining high safety standards and operational efficiency to reduce downtime and maximize throughput. Environmental management is also a key concern, with measures in place to minimize the impact of port activities on the surrounding marine and terrestrial environments.


Given its strategic importance, CPPC often collaborates closely with mining companies and regulatory bodies to ensure compliance with Australian regulations and to support the economic development of the region. Its role is vital in the broader context of Australia's resources sector, significantly contributing to the country's export revenues.
