Bidding Race for New International Container Terminal Begins

|


Port of Melbourne Corporation released the details of those organisations short listed to compete for the rights to operate the new international container facility at Melbourne’s Webb Dock.

This is an important milestone in the delivery of additional container capacity and consolidates Victoria’s position as Australia’s premier port.

The right to operate the third international container terminal at the Port of Melbourne has long been regarded as Australia’s premier ports opportunity.

Offered to the market in October 2012, the new container terminal is the centrepiece of the Victorian Government’s $1.6 billion Port Capacity Project and attracted expressions of interest from a wide field of Australian and international bidders.

Located at Melbourne’s Webb Dock East, the new facility is offered as a package that comprises around 30 hectares of waterfront terminal, a utility ‘off-dock’ area and an adjoining empty container facility. The new terminal is mandated to provide a capacity of at least one million containers per annum.

Port of Melbourne Corporation Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Bradford, today confirmed the identity of the bidders who have been shortlisted and invited to progress to the Request for Proposals phase.
