Motor vehicle facilities Collapse and expand this accordion
Victoria Quay is the preferred berthing area for pure car carriers from Asia which handle two-thirds of the port’s motor vehicle imports. This provides those in the industry with consistency for planning. The storage area for motor vehicles on Victoria Quay is monitored by cameras and accessible only through a monitored security gate. Working with vehicle transport and distribution companies, Fremantle Ports also provides dedicated facilities for on-wharf vehicle processing. These dedicated areas at F and G Berths on Victoria Quay enable vehicle processors to fast-track dealer-allocated vehicles. The on-wharf facilities have the capacity to store around 800 vehicles and have added value by providing customers with the ability to process pre-allocated urgent retail vehicles for delivery direct to dealers. The on-wharf vehicle processing facilities reduce costs relating to car handling in Fremantle by minimising lead time and eliminating any unnecessary transport. The dedicated facilities enable on-vessel survey and plastic stripping and washing within the wharf area. Both vehicle processors have 4,400 square metre warehouses. Victoria Quay currently provides sufficient stacking area to handle single shipments of up to 4,800 vehicles. The dedicated facilities for vehicle handling represent another example of how Fremantle Ports is working with customers to enhance their business. The on-wharf processing arrangements enable more efficient use of wharf areas while providing the flexibility of longer term vehicle storage. Some motor vehicle imports are also handled at common-user berths 11 and 12 at North Quay.
