Fremantle halts new terminal plans

19 years ago

The Western Australian port of Fremantle has put a halt in the shortterm to any further consideration of a third container terminal in the Inner Harbour. Mediterranean Shipping Company had proposed to redevelop Berths 11 and 12 on North Quay as a container terminal. But for the moment the port has decided these berths are needed for the growing trade in general and breakbulk cargoes.
