Port Services
The region has two major deepwater ports located at Port Alma and Gladstone.
The Port of Gladstone is one of the largest ports on the eastern seaboard and handles more than 53 million tonnes of cargo each year.
Port Alma, 62 kilometres south of Rockhampton, can accommodate vessels up to 24,000 gross tonnes in size.
Port Alma services Rockhampton and Central Queensland for general cargo and products.
The region also has small-craft berthing, mooring and servicing facilities at Port Alma, in the Rockhampton reach of the Fitzroy River, and at Rosslyn Bay on the Capricorn Coast.
Transport
The district is well served by rail, road, sea and air transport.
Rockhampton's modern air terminal expedites business and tourist travel for local, interstate, and international charter flights.
The modern electric and diesel rail system offers both passenger and freight services.
The electric tilt train service reaches Brisbane in less then seven hours.
Night and day coach services fan out from Rockhampton to the rest of Australia.
Taxis, rental cars and private buses serve Rockhampton City and nearby areas.
Due to the City's location at the junction of the Bruce and Capricorn Highways, Rockhampton is a major road freight centre.

Central Queensland's major generating facilities - including the Stanwell, Gladstone and Callide power stations - produce the majority of the State's power.
