BREAKING NEWS: VESSEL BREAKS LINES AT PORT OF BRISBANE, SHIPPING AT STANDSTILL.
Report by Abby Williams, Daily Cargo News.
Shipping at the Port of Brisbane is at a standstill as severe flooding hampers navigation.
Days of intense rainfall across the region had washed debris into the Brisbane River, causing the regional harbour master to suspend the movement of vessels at the port.
A Queensland Transport and Main Roads spokesperson told DCN river conditions had deteriorated rapidly on Sunday and water flows into the Brisbane River increased exceptionally.
“The actual water flow conditions considerably exceeded the forecast conditions,” the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson confirmed the high water flows had caused oil tanker MTCSC Friendship to break away from the Ampol Products wharf on the Brisbane River at Lytton early on Monday morning.
“It is the responsibility of individual companies to ensure commercial vessels are safely berthed and secured,” they said.
“The vessel was refloated successfully in an operation overseen by the MSQ regional harbour master with the assistance of a marine pilot and tugs.
“The vessel was taken to an anchorage in Moreton Bay under its own steam and anchored without incident.”
The spokesperson said there were no injuries or pollution, and the matter is being investigated by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
Maritime Safety Queensland closed the Brisbane River to all ships and watercraft last night to safeguard lives and infrastructure.Read More | BREAKING NEWS: Vessel breaks lines at Port of Brisbane, Shipping at standstill – Daily Cargo News (thedcn.com.au)
