BICT's busier than ever
The Brisbane International Cruise Terminal has been buzzing with activity this summer season, with around 264,000 passenger movements through the terminal between December to January.
We welcomed 48 cruise ship calls over the holiday months with over 160 cruise ship calls scheduled throughout the 2023/24 season. With every cruise call to Brisbane contributing almost $1 million to the QLD economy, it's also a significant boost to the economy.
Thank you to the 130 hard-working team members from across all our partners, including our own Operations Team, who make every cruise call possible.
Our car parking expansion project is also progressing well, with the first stage of additional parking complete. Once complete, the additional car parks will increase total onsite car parking to over 1,200 parking bays for passengers and staff.
Travelling soon? Everything you need to know about the BICT is on our website. |

PNCUB works underway
PBPL is completing upgrade works to its Port North Common User Berth (PNCUB) at Pinkenba to construct a new jetty that will connect to the existing unloading platform.
Brady Marine & Civil is the Principal Contractor for the project and mobilised its barge to the area in early March to commence marine piling.
We thank customers for their ongoing support during these works.
The new jetty is expected to be completed in mid 2024. |
