- Vessels' stability, trim, and propeller immersion are appropriate.

- Preparations are made in accordance with their respective cyclone response plan.
Terminal/berth operators are to ensure that:

According to the Bureau of Meteorology update at 0800 hours local time today (19 February), ex-Tropical Cyclone Lincoln is located well inland near the Western Australia and Northern Territory border and moving west. It will continue to move west through the Kimberley and is expected to move over water off the Kimberley coast on Wednesday.
Once offshore Ex-Tropical Cyclone Lincoln is expected to move towards the southwest and strengthen, redeveloping into a tropical cyclone on Thursday.
On Friday Lincoln is likely to turn towards the south and approach the west Pilbara coast as a category 2 tropical cyclone. There is a significant risk that it strengthens further to become a severe tropical cyclone prior to when it crosses the coast which is expected either late Friday or during Saturday.
