New tug requirements

Flinders Ports Operations has been investigating a number of issues raised regarding the required number of tugs for vessels and the unique nature of berthing and unberthing at the various berths in Port Lincoln.

Please be advised that effective 1 January the towage requirements for the port will change.

Essentially, the change is related to the number of tugs required to the LOA of vessels which has been decreased from 180m to 175m…

…Although this means that a few additional vessels will have 2 tugs, Flinders Ports has negotiated an outcome with the towage provider (PLT) that the tariff rates (Due in Jan) will be kept the same as this year and not be increased for 12 months.
