Building on the Port of Cairns Cruise Shipping Demand Study undertaken by us in 2010 – 2011, we are working with project partner Arup to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Port of Cairns Shipping Development Project.
Building on the Port of Cairns Cruise Shipping Demand Study undertaken by us from 2010 to 2011, we worked with project partner Arup to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Port of Cairns Shipping Development Project.
The project proposed widening and deepening of the Cairns entrance channel in order to accommodate large cruise ships that frequent the region and allow such ships to moor along Trinity Wharves, bringing significant regional economic benefits.
As technical lead for marine studies, we also prepared a comprehensive dredge management plan and reactive monitoring programme, and undertook agency and stakeholder consultation.
We provided technical inputs in the form of:
The project EIS was accepted by the Queensland Government and released for public consultation in 2015.
BMT was engaged as part of a specialist team to prepare the aquatic ecology, water quantity, hydrology and geomorphology chapters for the Wafi-Golpu Environmental Impact Statement in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea.
Ports North engaged us to provide specialist engineering design of the dredging and disposal site and environmental advice for the EIS process. Aproximately 800,000 cubic metres of material was removed and pumped onshore.
We are working with the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi to establish a finfish aquaculture zone adjacent to Dalma Island in western Abu Dhabi
BMT has been commissioned by a shipyard owner to conduct third-party risk assessment and loss prevention studies for the conversion of a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) cinto a Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) facility, as part of the Banyu Urip Field Development Project.
