Across the vast expanse of water, Webb Dock comes into view. A bustling hub of activity, Webb Dock has played a pivotal role in Melbourne’s maritime history. The dock we see today started to take shape in the 1950s. It was initially known as the River Entrance Dock. Its primary function was to facilitate the transportation of cargo and passengers to and from Tasmania. Webb Dock also played a significant role in international container handling until the 1990s. Over time Webb Dock underwent a transformation. It evolved into the largest automotive terminal in Australasia. Today, it handles the export and import of cars on a massive scale, with an average of 1000 vehicles passing through its gates every single day. The dock’s name pays homage to a prominent figure in Melbourne’s maritime history: J.P. Webb OBE. As a former Melbourne Harbor Trust commissioner, he left an indelible mark on the city’s port. Webb’s contributions extended beyond his role at the Harbor Trust. He was also the Chairman and Managing Director of the Victorian Producers’ Co-operative Company Limited. His journey with the Trust began in 1941 as a representative for exporters. Webb Dock stands as a testament to Melbourne’s maritime legacy and its role as a gateway to the world.
