10 Mar 2025 / Brisbane, Australia
The Port of Brisbane has resumed operations with a few limited movements today (10 March), subject to change depending on many factors including river flow after rainfall & dam release, debris found in the river, swell conditions, etc.
The Harbour Master advises that ex-tropical cyclone Alfred is currently situated over the southeastern interior of Queensland, and is expected to continue moving further inland during today before tracking into New South Wales. Areas of heavy to locally intense rainfall, which may lead to dangerous and life-threatening flash flooding, are expected across southern and southeast Queensland and gradually contract into New South Wales during Monday. Several Minor to Moderate Flood Warnings have also been issued across southeast Queensland including the lower Brisbane river and some of its tributaries.
Higher winds and associated swell conditions have been slower to decline than anticipated. Irrespective, the Harbour Master’s Direction for the closure of the Brisbane, Southport and Noosa Pilotage Areas has now been lifted, primarily to aid recovery efforts using local commercial vessel services. However, hazardous weather conditions continue to be experienced throughout SEQ waterways, which make it unsuitable for recreational boating.
Damage and infrastructure assessments were conducted in the main shipping channels of Moreton Bay and Fisherman Island precinct.
VTS are continuing to work with the Port of Brisbane P/L, terminals, and the pilotage provider in the development of the shipping schedule. Initial restrictions will include:
- Selected vessels based on vessel size, ladder arrangements and the terminals’ priority.
- Drafts <11.0m, until NW channel clearance survey has been completed – most likely to be reviewed on Tuesday.
- Vessels berthing downstream of Pelican Banks only.
- Berthing upstream of Pelican Banks will be reviewed again tomorrow, based on likelihood of high currents and other flood related hazards.
- The initial schedule will be developed to cover the daylight period - to be reviewed.
Other current restrictions include:
- Outer and Inner anchorage remain closed.
- All vessels alongside to deploy additional moorings.
- Offshore anchors to be walked back to the seabed at FI berths.
- All activity permits (immobilisations, lifeboat launching and so on) remain revoked until further notice.
- Bunkering operations will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
