W8 Bathurst Basin

Technical information

• Size: 65m in length suiting a single large vessel or two smaller vessels (please note, the website originally stated 80m, however this has been revised downwards to accommodate large vessels to be able to safely swing in Bathurst Basin). There is potential to extend out from the quay wall by 6m before reaching the navigation area.
• Lease Length: Term of lease for discussion with interested parties.
• Access: Directly from the quay wall; Closest public parking is Lower Guinea and the nearest vehicle access point for loading is Guinea Street.
• Vessel requirements: High quay walls so low freeboard vessels not appropriate. 1.5m step down is required. No floating installation/vessel shall be constructed in a manner that renderers it not readily moveable should the need arise. Where the location lies upstream of fixed bridges or narrow sections of the harbour, the dimensions should not prevent movement downstream through constraints. Floating installations/vessels should either be capable of self-propulsion or constructed in such a way that facilitates towage when necessary. This is to respond to any future requests from the Harbour Master for the vessel to be temporarily relocated and to allow transit through the harbour to areas where repair, maintenance and survey works can be carried out.
