International container terminal planned

DP World Australia and the Tasmanian Ports Corporation (Tasports) have struck a deal to bring an international container terminal to the Port of Burnie in the north-west of the state.

Provided that the Coastal Shipping Act 2015 passes in the federal parliament, it is believed ships can begin entering the port in early 2017.

Under the deal, DP World’s investment would include the refurbishing of the existing ship-to-shore crane, constructing a ship-to-shore crane, developing a container yard, integrating the yard with the existing rail terminal, and providing yard container handling equipment.
