We’re currently undertaking seabed levelling at the Port of Burnie – as part of our ongoing role in maintaining safe navigation and efficient operations across Tasmania’s multi-port system. From 11 June through to 24 June, we’ll be redistributing nearly 3,500 cubic metres of sand and sediment build up around Berth 7 and its entrance corridor, the area between berth 4 and Berth 5, and the Northern Basin. Over time, sediment moves within our operational areas, creating uneven build-up on the seabed. The process of seabed levelling redistributes this material from shallow to deeper areas within the port operational water, giving the seabed a flatter profile which supports the safe and efficient movement of commercial vessels. A big shout out to Polaris Marine Group for helping us deliver this maintenance program using its seabed levelling tug, Molly Grace.
