Port Pirie, on South Australia's Spencer Gulf, is home to the Nyrstar lead and zinc smelter and handles bulk mineral concentrate exports through its Flinders Ports terminal.
Anyone who needs unescorted access to the maritime security zone at Port Pirie must hold a valid MSIC, including stevedores, bulk terminal workers, marine crew and smelter-related contractors.

Your MSIC is a national card. An MSIC issued by ClientView is valid at Port Pirie and at every other security regulated port and offshore facility in Australia.
Flinders Ports sets its own access card and induction requirements on top of your MSIC. Confirm current local arrangements with Flinders Ports or your employer before your first visit.
A South Australian Government Notice to Mariners confirms a maritime security zone is established at Port Pirie and that persons must display a valid MSIC while within the zone. Read the SA Government notice.
