Rebirth of BHP wharf in Newcastle harbour
THE completion of a $25 million refurbishment of a berth at the former BHP steelworks site was marked yesterday with the arrival of a vessel with a weighty delivery for the Bayswater power station.
Two 250-tonne transformers were carefully and slowly unloaded onto oversized trucks using the cranes of the heavy-lift vessel Victoria Scan yesterday afternoon at Mayfield No.4 berth.
The equipment was to be taken to Bayswater in the early hours of this morning.
The shipment signalled the commissioning of the refurbished former iron ore berth, the first infrastructure project to be completed at Mayfield, on time and budget, Newcastle Port Corporation said.
