Patrick Stevedores has announced the signing of commercial agreements for the development and expansion of Patrick’s Container Terminal at Sydney’s Port Bortany.

 

Once the company meets its development obligations, Patrick will increase its presence at the port by 39 per cent through the further development of an integrated Container Terminal, which will comprise its existing Container Terminal and the adjoining 17.6 hectare site.

 

The new Terminal will be designed to balance capacity across the quay line, the container stacking yard and the landside interface. Plans for the new Terminal will more than double Patrick’s capacity to 2.5 million TEUs per annum and include an expansion of quay line to 1400 metres, including four berths capable of accommodating the new panama vessels.

 

“Today’s announcement is the next step in the major expansion of Sydney Ports Corporation’s container port facilities at Port Botany,” said Mr Grant Gilfillan, Sydney Ports Corporation CEO and Director. 

 

“As one of the largest port projects to be undertaken in Australia in the last 30 years, we look forward to working with Patrick to deliver increased capacity which caters for long term trade growth.”
