MEDIA ALERT - Commissioning of new $65 million Berth 10 container wharf

EVENT

• Transport, Trade and Employment Minister John Mickel will tomorrow morning officially commission the new $65 million Berth 10 container wharf at Port of Brisbane, Fisherman Islands, which is set to boost trading capacity at the port.
• The extra trading capacity provided by the new berth means the port is well positioned to handle future trade growth, and to remain a competitive, commercially focused operation for the benefit of the State’s economy.
• The Port of Brisbane Corporation has invested more than $724 million in capital expenditure projects during the past five years, and in the next five years plans to spend another $1 billion.
