Inner Harbour Master Plan

Tug Haven

● The new tug haven will be located at the harbour entrance.

● 22 Rotor Tugs, self-contained maintenance, fuel supply and administration in cyclone rated facility.

GENERAL CARGO

Existing Berths at Capacity

Non Iron Ore Trade Growth

• General cargo activity linked to exports – Department of Transport estimates this at 1 – 1.5% of throughput.

• Cargo forecast, including general cargo, to grow from 4.9mtpa in 2011/12 to 9.2mtpa 2016/17.

• Capacity of 6.3-6.5mtpa at existing berths to be reached in 2012/13.

• Significant congestion of the berths expected beyond this timeframe.

• Growth in export berths has not been matched by growth in general cargo berths.
