Toll Remote Logistics - TOLL Group

arrow Island update
as the Gorgon project continues to build momentum after
an extremely busy cyclone season in the north west of
Western australia, the Toll energy team is busy managing
a range of supply Base activities on Barrow island.
march 2011 saw a key milestone of 3,200 Teu discharged at
WapeT landing from the fleet of Gorgon project vessels. This
volume of Teu is the most that has been received in a month to
date and was subsequently distributed by the transport team
to a wide range of contractors spread throughout the island.
This was a significant overall team effort and was completed
without major injury and incident due to a continued focus
on Safe and Incident Free (SaIF) operations. special mention
must first go to the marine and crane teams who continued to
work through arduous and demanding hot climate conditions
to safely discharge a wide range of complex vessel stows.
This increase in project material has also had a direct impact
on the daily activities of the materials group which includes
the materials, warehousing and laydown teams. These teams
are responsible for receipting, checking, storing, issuing
and tracking of all material that arrives onto Barrow island.
regardless of the climatic and physical conditions, this group
of dedicated employees continues to produce work of a high
standard both in terms of safety and operational excellence.
as the project grows in size, some of the smaller teams within
the supply Base have also been faced with an increase in
tasking and activity. The operations, fuel, cleaning, maintenance,
Hess, waste and Hr/admin teams have all continued to
work hard and in a professional manner whilst maintaining
consistently high levels of customer service both internally
and externally to the supply Base.
The supply Base has also recently helped open up an additional
marine point of entry onto Barrow island at the marine offloading
facility. This additional work involves the discharging from
dumb barges every 12 days, over 2.5 million litres of fresh
water which has been shipped in from Broome to Barrow
island. This water is required for the construction of the lnG
site on which the processing plant will be built.
The overall supply Base is now well poised to tackle the
next phase of the project plan that will see the overall labour
on Barrow island reach more than 3,000 people who will be
supported by associated equipment, vehicles and material,
all of which will be received onto Barrow island by Toll
energy employees. <
