Port Botany has re-opened to shipping after yesterday's dust storm closed both container terminals and suspended vessel movements.
Sydney Ports closed the port and shipping in Sydney Harbour when a freak dust storm hit the city, reducing visibility and combining with strong winds to create hazardous conditions.
Port Botany re-opened by midday but was subject to wind-related restrictions.
Winds had eased and the dust cleared by mid-afternoon and the port was operating normally this morning.
