Shortlisted operators announced for Berth 4 at Townsville Port

Port of Townsville Limited (POTL) has announced three companies have been shortlisted and invited to submit proposals to operate the Berth 4 container and general cargo terminal at Townsville Port.

Treasurer Curtis Pitt said of the six submissions received following the EOI in October 2016, the following parties have been invited to submit final proposals:

  • Australian Amalgamated Terminals (AAT) Pty Limited;
  • DP World Australia; and
  • Townsville Bulk Storage and Handling.

“This process will secure an operator that will grow Northern Australia’s largest general cargo and container port, and a designated Priority Port in Queensland,” Mr Pitt said.

“The number and quality of submissions received shows the strong industry confidence in Townsville’s future economic growth potential, and the role the Port will play in growing Northern Australia.

“More containers through Townsville means more essential goods can be imported directly to North Queenslanders; it also means local farmers, miners and manufacturers have greater choice for exporting their products to the rest of the world through their closest port.” The upgrade of Berth 4 would double Townsville Port’s container trade capacity.

“This project is one of a number of significant initiatives that will cement the Port of Townsville as Northern Australia’s premier trade and logistics hub.”

To cater for growth in trade, in particular containerized and general cargo, POTL is currently undertaking a $40.7 million redevelopment of Berth 4 and construction work commenced in April 2016 and is planned for completion in December 2017.

Submissions from the shortlisted parties are due in April 2017, with a preferred terminal operator expected to be selected by June 2017.
