Sarah Moore, CEO of Peterson Energy Logistics, said: โWe are delighted to be announced as the operator of Kimberley Marine Offloading Facility and deliver safe, efficient and innovative integrated logistics to clients operating in the region. We look forward to working with KMSB and engaging with the local community, Broome Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and all stakeholders to ensure our collective success in Broome.โ
KMSBโs development of the $160 million multi-user port facility will transform Broomeโs service offering for marine logistics, allowing industries to benefit from the existing and developing capabilities of Broome. The facility will comprise a floating wharf, connected by a linkspan ramp to a fixed bi-directional causeway, along with associated onshore terminal facilities. The facility will be located to the south of the existing Port of Broome wharf and will provide complimentary facilities for maritime trade and tourism.
The KMOF will be designed and constructed by TAMS Group with the construction phase starting in the third quarter of 2022. The facility will begin operations in the first quarter of 2024 and provide new supply chain options to numerous industries, offer lower movement costs, reduced carbon emission options, and minimise risks through shorter distances to offshore oil and gas operations.
