Former Whyalla Steelworks parent company GFG Alliance has placed its subsidiary Whyalla Ports into voluntary administration.
In a statement, the company said it had no choice after the State Government intervened last month to determine the control of the facility.
It comes after the company was embroiled in a federal court case with adminstrators Korda Mentha earlier this year, who are hoping to gain control of the port to sell the Steelworks as an integrated asset.

Despite the voluntary administration, the State Government said the port will continue to operate as usual.
