487 mtpa 2016/17 (forecast)
Berths
Current
11 Cape Size Iron Ore Berth
1 Multi User Mini Cape Bulk Berth (Utah Point)
3 General Cargo Berths
Approved (inner harbour)
16 Cape Size Iron Ore Berths (inc. South West Creek)

Forecast

4. Non Iron Ore Overview
Port Hedland Berths 1 – 3 used for General & Bulk Cargo
Fuel
Salt
Copper Concentrates
Containers
General Cargo
Project Cargo
Rail – tracks, locomotives, bogies

5. General Cargo – Existing Berths

6. Non Iron Ore Trade Growth
General cargo activity linked to exports – Department of Transport estimates this at 1 – 1.5% of throughput
Cargo forecast, including general cargo, to grow from 4.9 mtpa in 2011/12 to 9.2 mtpa 2016/17
Capacity of mtpa at existing berths to be reached in 2012/13
Significant congestion of the berths expected beyond this timeframe
Growth in export berths has not been matched by growth in general cargo berths
Lumsden Executive Document document to match the 12/13 date.

9. Berth Congestion Lumsden Constructed 2014
Board Notes: add in 2017/18 expected figures to enable a view of occupancy ‘post’ Rock Load Out completion
* 100% berth occupancy reflects 70% actual berth usage, plus vessel sailing and change over, and berth maintenance
* Rock Load Out for 2 years 2015/ /17

14. Lumsden Point
Identified originally in the 2007 Ultimate Development Plan as site for multi user berths
Early concept work by PHPA created the ‘triangle’ option
Multiple land backed berths
Variety of cargoes – ore, fuel, containers, general
Staged development
Involved substantial capital investment

15. Lumsden Point Current Concept
Predominantly general cargo (excluding iron ore, salt)
Staged development to match cargo demand
Stage 1 entails– 2 Handymax berths, 400m length, land backed
Optimise capital investment
Operationally aligned to PHPA service delivery objectives – reliable, competitive & efficient port
Minimise dredging and environmental impact
Articulate service delivery objectives

16. Stage 1: Concept design

17. Lumsden Estate Approx. 140 Hectares
Mix of light and medium industries to support port activities
Direct access to Lumsden Point and Common User Facility (CUF)
Direct access to Great Northern Highway realignment
Developed in stages to meet industry demand
Pre Assembled Modules (PAMs) access road for Boodarie

18. CUF Concept Design Maritime Servicing Facility Wharves Ship lift
Laydown area
Supporting Industries
Synergies with General Cargo at Lumsden
Proposed location adjacent to Lumsden general cargo berths
*Concept only for illustrative purposes.

19. General Cargo Investment Sequencing
Lumsden Point - 2 Berths (Handymax) 2014/15
South West Creek – Anderson Point 6 Berth (Fuel – Post Panamax) – Demand Driven
Lumsden Point – 2 Berths (Handymax/Panamax) – Demand Driven

20. Lumsden Funding Approvals
Concept Design & Strategic Business Case complete
PHPA Board approved a market sounding study on concept design and business case
Liaise concept design with key agencies
Next stage of approvals dependent on preferred procurement / funding strategy
PHPA / Government Funded
Proponent Funded / PPP
