NEWS IN BRIEF PILBARA ANNUAL SHIPPING FIGURES REMAIN STRONG Andrew Forrest and Elizabeth Gaines FMG opens tug harbour at Port Hedland Aussie entrepreneur Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest has unveiled Fortescue Metals Group’s new tug and towage facility in Port Hedland, a harbour named after his mum. Judith Street Harbour at Herb Elliott Port was officially opened by Mr Forrest, together with FMG chief executive Elizabeth Gaines along with Port Hedland mayor, Camilo Blanco and members of the Port Hedland community. Fortescue has procured and built six tugs and leased a further three tugs, including six rotor tugs that were built by Damen Shipyards in Vietnam. “As Australia’s economic and industrial gateway to Asia, the Port of Port Hedland is the largest bulk export port in the world,” Mr Forrest said. “The strategic decisions made by the board to build our fleet of ore carriers and Fortescue owned and operated towage capability mark the critical completion of this part of Fortescue’s journey.” Mr Forrest said the final step in the process would be the naming of Judith Street Harbour. Chief executive Elizabeth Gaines said, “The towage fleet represents the final element in our supply chain, with our innovative new tug fleet able to provide safe and reliable towage services and additional towage capacity for all Port Hedland users”. said.
