Overseas Passenger Terminal Berthing Infrastructure Project (OPT BIP) overview
The objective of the project is to facilitate safe, efficient and reliable vessel berthing at the Overseas Passenger Terminal that can accommodate the requirements of the current and future cruise vessel fleet that will visit the terminal. The project will include berth deepening to remove localised high spots at the seabed within the berth box and installation of a scour protection system to mitigate the effects vessel induced scour which can lead to damage at the base of wharf structures. 8t rock bags will be placed along the toe of the wharf to provide the scour protection.
Timing
Works are planned to take place on site across the 2026 cruise low season - between May 2026 to October 2026.
