Service vessel facility, Princess Royal Harbour, Albany

The proposal is to improve Albany Port's facility for the mooring of existing port service vessels and for a new large tug. The proposal involves:

• dredging of approximately 25,000 cubic metres (m³) (1.6 hectares) of material to provide a maximum water depth of -6m CD (Chart Datum);
• reclamation of 0.4 hectares of PRH using dredge spoil;
• establishment of a coarse sand beach fronting the reclamation area;
• construction of a rubble mound breakwater, approximately 250 metres long, using locally available quarry materials; and
• the construction of three steel piled jetties to provide permanent mooring for two tugs, a pilot boat and line boat.
