About Fremantle
Fremantle is the port for Perth and the whole of Western Australia, and being on the Indian Ocean side it is the shortest sea leg from Europe of the Australian ports. The inner harbour sits at the mouth of the Swan River and has draft limits that cap vessel size. Western Australia's isolation means almost everything for the state arrives here.
