Shiploaders at Carrington will light up in the colours of the Aboriginal flag for National Reconciliation Week.
Port Waratah Coal Services will light up two shiploaders - one red and one yellow - against the black sky each night until June 3.
This year's Reconciliation Week theme is "be a voice for generations".
Port Waratah has illuminated its two shiploaders at Carrington wharf each year since 2018. They will again be lit up for NAIDOC Week July 2-9.
Port Waratah CEO Hennie du Plooy said the organisation would also invest an extra $100,000 per year in its Community Investment and Partnership Program to include a Partnerships for Reconciliation priority area.
The Partnerships for Reconciliation priority area will focus on projects and initiatives that support local contributions to the National Agreement on Closing the Gap socio-economic outcome areas and targets.
