Floating Wharf Launch - January 2025
KMSB is thrilled to share the successful launch of our floating wharf from the overseas shipyard this month. This monumental achievement is a testament to the dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment of our team, and our project partners.
This world class facility will significantly enhance our operational capabilities, providing unparalleled support to the maritime industry in our region and we’re looking forward to an exciting new chapter for Broome and the Kimberley.
Optimising marine logistics in the North West is closer than ever, with the wharf to be delivered to Broome subject to appropriate weather conditions.
We invite you to watch the video to see the launch as it happened.
Marine works at the Port of Broome will commence in November 2024 in preparation for the key construction period of the Kimberley Marine
Support Base Facility. Contractors are currently mobilising on site, and low-level activity may be seen ahead of construction.
When marine works commence in November, there will be a temporary “Marine Works Zone” as indicated below.
Unauthorised personnel and vessels are NOT permitted within 50m of the marine works zone. Special navigation markers (yellow crosses and lights) will indicate the work zones to avoid. Foot traffic along the beach will be permitted when active work zones are a safe distance away.
Please note the Kimberley Ports Authority (KPA) are also completing road upgrades in the area (indicated in blue on the map) from mid/late October.
Construction of the KMSB facility is expected to be complete in the second half of 2025.
Thank you for your patience and understanding of potential road and marine access interruptions during this time.
