Operational enhancements at Port Hedland
• Provides for minimum 90cm clearance
• Upgrades to DUKC system (Series V)
Dynamic Under Keel Clearance System
Tidal Range: 7m Current: 2-3 knots Depths: 14.8m (IH), 15m -16.6m (channel)
• Targeted dredge campaign:
Removal of siltation allowance
High spot dredging in Inner Harbour
Revision of tidal model
Net average benefit = 71cm
= 14,000t/vessel = $1.5 million/vessel
Specialised Dredging Campaign
Operational enhancements at Port Hedland
• Increased departure window from 3.5 hours to 4.5
hours - with 30min gaps
• Capacity to increase number of vessel departures
from 6 to 8
Increased tidal departure window as a result of Port enhancements
Increased towage requirements and provisions
• On departure, four tugs escort to Hunt Point, three tugs
escort to Beacon No. 30/31
• Channel width at Hunt Point = 183m
• Nineteen tugs required to manage ≥ 460Mtpa
• In 2009: 10 tugs (stern-drive) 2014: 15-16 tugs (8-9 rotor tugs)
Future PHPA Initiatives
• Channel escape areas - shorter departure windows
(30mins 20mins)
• 400m survey outside channel (complete)
• Real time data feed to Portable Pilot Units (complete)
• Improved tidal network & DUKC Series V (complete)
• Significantly improved channel transit management
Channel Enhancements
Future PHPA Initiatives
• Partnership with HR Wallingford – to operate an
advanced ship navigation and maritime simulation
facility in Fremantle.
• Optimisation of marine operating procedures, and
professional development and training of individual
pilots, tug masters and port staff.
• Vessel traffic services (VTS) simulator plus six real
time ship simulation bridges (including four dedicated
tug bridges)
Advanced site familiarisation and scenario based emergency and failure training.

• Stockyard 2 developed - increased throughput
• In 2011 the average GLR was 2500 tph, currently
achieving GLR’s of 5000+ tph.
Increase in product haulage rate:

Ports Review – Pilbara Ports Authority
Operational Benefits:
• Single entity oversight of all shipping
across the Pilbara region
• Leverage operational capabilities, e.g.
Dredge Manager, and engineering
oversight
Development Benefits:
• Single point of contact for proponents
• Streamlining of processes, e.g.
environmental and DA processes
Strategic Objectives
As of 1 July 2014 - consolidates all ports across (11 in total) the Pilbara region
Dampier Port Authority (2012-13) = 180.4 mt
Iron ore = 148.4 Mt Gas products = 21.7 Mt
