Anytime, anyplace.
The floating wharf’s design ensures consistent and safe operational efficiency across tidal variations. There are extremely limited windows that specific cargo that cannot be offloaded, however, they can be staged on the wharf prior to these periods to ensure 24hr loading of vessels.

Fit for Purpose Infrastructure
KMSB takes the region’s extreme tidal cycle out of the equation.
Where once the tides dictated berthing time, efficiency and costs, KMSB’s superior infrastructure will provide the maritime sector with a technical solution that delivers a usable facility across the entire tidal spectrum.
Inside Broome's Tidal Variations
The KMSB facility at the Port of Broome is uniquely designed to address the significant tidal challenges that the region faces. Broome experiences one of the largest tidal ranges in Australia, with variations that can exceed 10 meters between low and high tides. During low tides, the deep berth of at least 15 meters ensures that deep draft vessels can dock and depart
without dredging, maintaining efficient and continuous operations. At medium tide levels, the wide dual-directional causeway provides stable and accessible connectivity between the wharf and the mainland. During high tides, the floating wharf’s design allows it to rise with the water levels, ensuring that heavy lift capabilities and other operational
functionalities remain unaffected. This robust design not only ensures operational reliability but also minimizes environmental impact, making the KMSB facility a versatile and sustainable solution to Broome’s tidal challenges.
