Showcasing marine infrastructure expertise
First floating pontoon installed
The 168-tonne floating pontoon destined for the North Sydney Ferry Terminal took six months to build and travelled 215 nautical miles from its construction site in Port Macquarie to North Sydney. During the early hours on 9 May, our team positioned the new pontoon, installed the passenger gangway, and started connecting the services. Final fit out is now underway, ready for hand-over in June.
Designed for accessibility
The project aims to achieve compliance with Disability Standards Accessible Public Transport for all assets, access paths and transport services within the wharf interchange. It will also improve customer safety, enhance the efficiency of the interchange, increase wharf capacity for future growth of ferry services, and provide better integration with other modes of transport.
