Night movement restrictions revised

The restrictions on night time movements in Mourilyan Harbour for vessels larger than 175m has been reviewed and removed, effective immediately.

Vessels with LOA over 190m and 32.2 beam are still considered oversize and will be assessed on a case by case basis. Tidal and UKC restrictions remain unchanged however will be subject to further review; this will take time noting modelling and simulation may be required.

Agents should also consider booking two movements on the one tide (ie one out, one in) wherever possible and if achievable will be accommodated. Vessels may be berthed on either a flood or ebb tide if the tidal range is 1.2m or less.

The removal of this restriction will result in improved operational flexibility and efficiencies.
