02 Mar 2021 / Far North Queensland, Australia
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast gale force winds for coastal waters of Townsville including Abbot Point for today (2 March).
The ports of Cape Flattery, Cairns, Mourilyan and Lucinda are now in Phase 2, Preparedness, in anticipation of the extreme weather.
This phase is critical for masters and owners to complete all preparations in an orderly manner prior to the event occurring. When deemed necessary the Regional Harbour Master (Cairns) will direct the evacuation of the port with the assistance and cooperation of personnel from Ports North, Police, Volunteer Marine Rescue and Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol to regulate and control the safe movements of vessels. Vessels must proceed as far as possible upstream into the designated shelter areas so as not to impede the progress of others.
The port of Townsville remains at Phase 1, Prevention.
