Repair of the port infrastructures on Christmas Island

I' m happy to be able to provide you with the following updated on the advances in the repair of crucial port infrastructures on Christmas Island. The municipality knows that the harbour cranes have been out of operation since the breakdown of its slewing ring in February. This part was made in Germany and is now on its way to Singapore, from where it will be sent to Christmas Island.

As I know, the slewing ring will reach the island in mid-August and the cranes will be put back into operation after the assembly work has been finished. We expect this at the end of August. It will support the harbour cran. Work on the truck is about to begin on its ten-year certifications, which are scheduled for the end of July in Perth.

Once the certifying work has been completed, the cranes will be shipped to Darwin, from where they will be taken by inland waterway to Christmas Island. It is planned that the ship will reach Christmas Island in early August and unload it with the ship's overhead mast. After start-up, test and instruction, the hoist is available as a back-up for the harbour cran.

Knowing that the recent disruptions to the municipal infrastructures have given me some cause for alarm, I would like to thank you for your leniency, while the department has worked with the port managers, PRL and Zentner to take action to minimize the outage.
