Situated near the southern end of World Heritage-listed Hinchinbrook Island, the Lucinda Bulk Sugar Terminal boasts the longest service jetty in the Southern Hemisphere.
Constructed in 1979, the jetty extends 5.76 kilometres into the Coral Sea. Supported by over 660 concrete and steel pylons, the jetty is nothing short of an engineering masterpiece, where its design accounts for the earth's curvature, resulting in a 2-metre difference in height between its two ends.
It is a bulk sugar loading facility, transporting raw sugar from the Lucinda Bulk Sugar Terminal to large shipping vessels anchored offshore. Sugar takes 22 minutes to travel along the conveyor from the terminal on-shore storage to the ship loader.
