Papua New Guinea: Lae Port Development Project

The Lae Port Development Project – Tidal Basin Phase 1 comprises one basin 400m × 700m, one berth of length of 240m for one 50,000 tonne DWT container vessels, a 120,000m2 container terminal yard, a link road, terminal buildings, utilities, and support facilities. The tidal basin was originally dry land and has been constructed by clearing existing vegetation, dredging originally to a depth of -13 metres below MSL, although at the request of TOTAL Oil Company this has now been changed to -14 metres, constructing a wharf for berthing of ships and reclaiming the cleared land by lifting the height of the platform to form a container storage yard.
