Fremantle Ports Newsletter 17th January 2020

Ports Minister Alannah MacTiernan formally opened a new workshop, offices and amenities at Fremantle Ports' Kwinana Bulk Terminal on 17 December to help support expanding bulk trades. The new $3.9 million facilities replace decades-old, outmoded buildings used by more than 100 port staff. The new complex is part of Fremantle Ports' broader planning work to maximise the potential of Kwinana Bulk Terminal, which is adjacent to the Kwinana industrial area.

Crane ship Zhen Hua 24 arrived on 27 December with a new post-panamax crane for the Patrick container terminal. Patrick now has four post-panamax cranes and Fremantle's other container terminal, DP World, has three. The new crane can handle ships with a 48-metre beam. According to the Waterline #64 report by the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics, compared to other Australian container ports, Fremantle has the best wharfside crane rate.

Come down to Victoria Quay for a huge waterfront market of food, artisanal products, vintage collectables and the largest indoor plant sale in the metro area. E Shed Markets will also be open.

Choose from a variety of food trucks inside B Shed and enjoy your meal inside the shed or on the wharf overlooking fantastic views of the working port, while taking in live entertainment.
