Logging Exports

Eastland Port is a vital cog in a world class logging industry.

Plantation logging is an environmentally sustainable industry that is contributing significantly to the economic growth of the region.

The port continues to export record numbers of logs, and with most wood lots being harvested also being replanted, it is an industry with a bright long-term future.

Infrastructure at the port is constantly being upgraded to keep pace with the growing demand from offshore.
