New port terminal starts construction in Gladstone
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Construction on a new A$17-million marine operations terminal at the Gladstone port, in Queensland, has officially started.
Queensland Treasurer Curtis Pitt said on Friday that the investment by the Gladstone liquefied natural gas (GLNG) and Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) projects was a positive opportunity for the Gladstone region, and was expected to support more than 100 local jobs during construction.
“The new marine terminal will cater for daily passenger ferries and vessels transporting materials and equipment to Curtis Island, supporting both GLNG and QCLNG operations,” Pitt said.
“This is another example of how the LNG industry, that represents more than A$60-billion dollars' worth of investment in Queensland, continues to sustain local jobs and investment.”
Gladstone Ports Corporation CEO Peter O’Sullivan said he was pleased the government-owned corporation had received approval to lease a parcel of strategic port land for the construction of a new LNG operations facility.
“The port land on which the facility will be constructed provides a good location in terms of proximity to Curtis Island, with adequate protection from tides and currents that may impact transit operations,” O’Sullivan said.
The QCLNG project, which produced its first LNG in December 2014, could produce as much as eight-million tonnes a year of LNG, while the GLNG project produced its first LNG in September last year, and had the capacity to produce 7.8-million tonnes a year of LNG.
