FREO TODAY

Freo Today. 23 August 2026. Busy at the Port today. These two container ships, APL Savannah on the left, and Jogela, both arrived today from Adelaide and both are departing soon for Singapore. Savannah sails under the flag of Singapore as well, while Jogela goes under the flag of Portugal (Madeira). Both frequent visitors to Freo. Impressive!

Silver Cloud Calls at Fremantle on Her Way to the Kimberley

Here’s a great image graphically conveying the 2 traffic lanes each way over the bridge, plus the shared paths for pedestrians and cyclists on each side of the bridge. This images shows the four lanes of traffic (two in each direction), as well as one 3m wide shared path on the east and a 4m Principal Shared Path (PSP) on the west.
