The North Queensland Export Terminal is a natural deep-water, multi-user facility located at the Port of Abbot Point in Queensland. With a nameplate capacity of up to 50 million tonnes per annum, the terminal primarily supports exports from Australia's resource-rich regions, serving long-established trade routes across Asia and other global markets. Its strategic coastal location and existing infrastructure make it a critical logistics node in the region's export ecosystem.
The acquisition was completed through a share-based arrangement, enabling APSEZ to add the asset without significant immediate cash outflow. With this addition, the company further diversifies its geographical presence and revenue streams, reducing dependence on a single market while strengthening exposure to global commodity flows.
NQXT is characterised by stable, long-term contracts and strong operating margins, providing predictable cash flows and long asset life visibility. These attributes are expected to complement APSEZ's existing international portfolio and support steady earnings growth over the medium to long term. The terminal also offers potential for operational optimisation and capacity enhancement as trade volumes grow.
The acquisition aligns with APSEZ's broader strategy of building a globally diversified port and logistics network. By expanding into key overseas markets, the company aims to enhance its role in international supply chains and position itself as an integrated transport and logistics provider.
With the addition of NQXT, APSEZ continues to progress towards its long-term vision of scaling cargo handling volumes significantly over the next decade, while strengthening resilience, operational scale and global relevance in the rapidly evolving maritime and logistics landscape.
