23 Jun 2016 / Port Kembla, Australia
Port Kembla Port Authority has advised there may be delays to marine operations within the port from 0600 hours local time tomorrow (24 June) in light of forecast severe weather.
current forecasts indicate that the worst of the weather will be during the period from 0600 Friday 24 June to 1200 on Saturday 25 June, but strong winds look likely to persist until late Saturday.
For vessels in the port of Port Kembla, Masters should ensure all adequate precautions are taken to secure their vessels for the weather conditions expected. This may include, but not be limited to, extra lines, anchors ready for letting go, ramp positing for PCCs and requiring tugs on standby at the discretion of the Master - without waiting for instruction from the Port Kembla VTIC or Harbour Master.
The port and anchorage presently remains open and the Port Authority will conduct risk assessments with the Marine Pilots for shipping movements as required.
