Target: Fast berth-to-backland offload efficiency

Enhanced by 8,250 sqm quayside staging, experienced stevedoring, and 4-pillar operational model

24/7 Availability – client-led scheduling model with pre-booking through rate card and booking system.

No legacy congestion – Greenfield site with direct berth access.

KMSB controls bookings directly, ensuring optimal berthing windows and traffic flow.

Fuel: 200kl/hr marine-grade bunker delivery

Potable water: 100kl/hr

Waste Services: Managed via licensed contractors – capability available for oil, grey/black water removal

Project logistics modelling includes:

• Offshore energy field supply (Browse Basin: 500 km vs Darwin 800 km).
• Wind blade offload scenario (tide, causeway, linkspan elevation aligned for 90m cargo).
• RoRo engagement with Wallenius Wilhelmsen underway.
• Carbon emission saving: approximately 41t CO2-e per PSV round trip; approximately 16,000L fuel saved versus Darwin or Fremantle.

• Direct sealed access via Port Drive (1km from wharf to laydown)
• Multi-lane causeway rated for quad/triple road trains
• Network connects to Great Northern Highway within 5 km
• All road curves, grades, and powerline clearances mapped for 90m+ blades and heavy modules

• No current direct rail access – multimodal interchange supported by Broome’s logistics contractors
• KMSB can integrate with rail at Port Hedland via Lumsden Point warehousing facility

• Currently under assessment – KMSB is developing biosecurity/FPOE solutions
• Interim FPOE model supports container pre-clearance in other ports with transit to Broome
• Aim to achieve NFPOE designation within 12 to 18 months of operation

Site SOPs in place for:

• Vessel fire and fuel spills.
• Wharf-side and landside incidents.
• Environmental monitoring via JV: Wangurru Nilangany (Yawaru and O2 Marine)
