Anchorage closed ahead of forecast severe weather

The Harbour Master at Port Kembla closed the anchorage to shipping at 1250 hours local tome today (2 August) due to strong southerly winds and high seas/swells forecast for the next few days.

All ships at anchorage have been instructed to return back to sea. Present indications are that the anchorage will likely remain shut until Friday, 5 August.

The port remains open to shipping movements for now, and the Port Authority will monitor conditions closely and assess shipping movements on a case-by-case basis. .
