NEWS: PORT OF BRISBANE SEES FIRST VESSEL MOVEMENTS IN DAYS 

Article | Daily Cargo News Ship movements are gradually coming back into motion at the Port of Brisbane after being suspended for most of this week.  The port is recovering from several days of heavy rainfall, strong currents in the Brisbane River with the potential to impact navigation. Port of Brisbane chief executive officer interim Neil Stephens confirmed this morning the regional harbour master has authorised the first vessel movements since operations were halted on Sunday afternoon.In an operational update, Mr Stephens said the movements will be made under extreme caution.“Following extensive planning and simulation, a tanker currently berthed at Ampol Crude Berth will depart this morning, with another urgent crude oil tanker (already at inner anchorage) to be brought in soon after,” he said.“As you could understand, this vessel exchange has been prioritised by the RHM in order to maintain ongoing fuel supplies in the region.“Other vessel movements for ships currently at anchorage will be scheduled on a risk-based, case-by-case approach by the RHM in the days ahead.” Continue reading through the link above.  For information regarding your shipments and potential delays contact [email protected]
