EOI sought for tug facility/line service facility at Port Botany

NEW South Wales Ports says it is inviting expressions of interest for the opportunity to licence a Class C tug facility and/or lines service facility at the Hayes Dock Services Area, Port Botany.

NSW Ports has highlighted it as “an opportunity to operate within one of Australia's busiest container ports”.

According to NSW Ports, this EOI process is to enable it to assess proposals from suitably qualified proponents for the licence of its Class C Tug and lines services facilities to support the provision of towage and lines services to port users.

Class C Tug Facility

The premises comprises about 250sqm of landside area, 250sqm of wet area and two car spaces. 
 
Lines service facility 
The premises comprises about 350 sqm of landside area and 350 sqm of wet area and three car spaces. 

EOI submissions close at 4pm on Friday, 27 November.

“It is anticipated that, subject to the EOI process resulting in the identification of a suitable operator(s), and legal documentation being executed, the successful proponents will commence operations in the first half of 2027,” NSW Ports stated.  

Further information and EOI documentation is available at the NSW Ports website.
