Port of Albany, Deep-water port in Albany, Western Australia

Port of Albany occupies 80 hectares on the north shore of Princess Royal Harbour, reached by a dredged channel 145 metres wide and at least 12 metres deep between Point Possession and Point King. It has four operational berths, two 45-tonne bollard-pull tugs, a 12-tonne mobile crane and a 98,000-cubic-metre cold store behind Berth No. 1.

This port opened in December 1826 as Western Australia's first deep-water facility, serving the region for decades before competing ports were built elsewhere. Its role as an early gateway shaped how the region developed and grew economically.

Between 1839 and 1925 more than 40,000 migrants and settlers reached Western Australia through Albany. The brig Amity brought the first settlers in December 1826. The water between Point Possession and Point King is named Atatürk Entrance, recalling the Turkish troops who fought at Gallipoli.

This is an active commercial port on the northern shore of Princess Royal Harbour, so dockside areas are working zones rather than a promenade. The 145 m wide, 12 m deep dredged channel runs between Point Possession and Point King at the foot of Mount Adelaide. Vessels up to Panamax size with 11.7 m laden draft are handled at four berths, with a fifth site ready for development.

During harbor maintenance work in the 2000s, workers discovered buried military ammunition from the 1940s beneath the seafloor. This discovery revealed the port's role during wartime and its importance to regional defense operations.
