Update 12 February 2024.

Following the fire at the Kwinana Bulk Jetty landside operations on Friday, a structural assessment has determined the main damage is to the import system conveyor, associated transfer towers and a shed leased for the storage of fertiliser. 

With safety as a continuing priority, planning is underway to recommence shipping operations this week, subject to a number of assessments and conditions being satisfied. 

Fremantle Ports will provide its customers with progress updates and advise when berth operations can resume.
