Gladstone Ports Corporation will spend about $100 million deepening a shipping channel near the RG Tanna Coal Terminal. The project will remove two million cubic metres of dredging from the Clinton by-pass channel as a safety measure to protect ships berthed at the coal terminal.
Currently, the channel is 13 metres deep, sufficient for the shallow draft LNG vessels and other Panamax ships which have traditionally travelled to wharves above the coal terminal. With the advent of the Wiggins Island Coal Export terminal, deeper draft Cape Class will be needed, hence the project to deepen the channel to 16m.
