New Berth Signals Confidence in Port and Region
Ports and Waterways Minister Paul McLeay today heralded the first operations at the Port of Newcastle’s new $25 million Mayfield No.4 Berth as a sign of continued confidence in the economic future of the Hunter Region.
“Mayfield No.4 Berth on the former BHP Steelworks site is the first infrastructure project to be completed at Mayfield and is a welcome asset for Newcastle Port Corporation,” Mr McLeay said.
Mr McLeay announced the commissioning of the new berth following the arrival of the heavy lift ship, Victoria Scan, which is unloading two 250-tonne transformers for Bayswater Power Station.
“Mayfield No.4 greatly expands the capability of the port to handle a variety of cargo as it is strategically located and accessible by road and future rail connection,” Mr McLeay said.
