NEOLINK Announcement – Port of Brisbane Flood Update – 28.2.22

Monday 28^th of February 2022

Dear Valued Clients,

Hope all is well, and you are having a good start to the week.

For all our customers, suppliers and their families based in Queensland and Northern NSW, we hope you stay safe during this challenging time.

Please find attached to this email an update from the Port of Brisbane’s Chief Financial Officer regarding current operations due to the floods.

In summary:

• Currently, the Regional Harbour Master (RHM) has declared no movements in and out of the Port. However, this is being reviewed on a case-by-case basis in the first instance
• PBPL will begin surveying critical navigational areas, including the channel, swing basins and berth pockets, as soon as it is safe to do so this morning (under the direction of the RHM)
• PBPL is also working with the RHM on a plan to remove debris in and around waterside infrastructure
• There is an element of minor/superficial damage on a number of port roads, across all precincts
• PBPL’s Infrastructure Team is assessing damage this morning
• It’s understood there are no access limitations on port roads at the moment
• There are no rail movements in and out of the BMT due to broader rail network issues, however the BMT itself remains operational.

As most of you know; the port data we access is the most up to date and ready information we have on hand for berthing timings, as well as first free day – we will continue operate as best as we can using the most up to date info on hand.

We anticipate this will cause quite significant disruption to planned vessel berthing’s and your NEOLINK Customer Operations Coordinator will be monitoring the port of Brisbane terminal data closely in the coming days.

If you are concerned about any shipment, please feel free to contact any member of the team and they will be proactively reaching out in the coming day/s when changes occur.

Best regards,

NEOLINK Marketing Team
