More improvements to the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal (BICT) will be rolled out over the winter months to further enhance the world-class cruise terminal.
The expansion of onsite car parking is approaching completion, with PBPL constructing approximately 340 new car park spaces for cruise passengers and staff.
In June, works commenced to add more shade to the BICT's outdoor waiting areas and from today, works will begin to the taxi rank marshalling area; increasing its capacity and improving vehicle flow.
PBPL CEO, Neil Stephens, said the Port of Brisbane was continuing to invest in the cruise terminal, with the improvement opportunities identified following the first two years of operation which, combined, welcomed over 300 cruise ships.
"We are incredibly proud of the world-class Brisbane International Cruise Terminal, which opened just over two years ago. Purpose-built for cruise, it was designed in close collaboration with the industry and with the aim to provide a seamless passenger experience being front of mind," said Mr Stephens.
"Over the last two years, we've welcomed over 300 cruise ships and there have been 1.5 million passenger movements through the terminal. That's enabled us to identify further improvement opportunities, such as a significant expansion of our onsite car parking, the addition of more shade to outdoor waiting areas and improving the capacity and flow of the taxi rank.
"We believe that this will make it an even more efficient and comfortable experience for passengers, staff and stakeholders who contribute to the terminal's success.
"We appreciate everyone's patience while these works are underway and thank the cruising community for its great support."
