I also wish to recognise November 2016. James Chen, whose term as a Director concluded on 31 January 2018. The Board is now focused on consolidating and growing the business in a sustainable manner On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank the to ensure it continues to meet the needs of Chief Executive Officer, Rachel Johnson, and her its customers, stakeholders and the Victorian management and staff for their dedication and work community. To do this, VPCM must adapt to ensure during another very busy year. it meets the technological and industry challenges that arise. This will ensure the port of Melbourne continues to be the gateway for trade in Victoria and home to the state’s premier cruise ship and interstate ferry facility at Station Pier. With this in mind, VPCM is pursuing two James Cain major initiatives: the upgrade of the Vessel Chairman Traffic Services (VTS) navigation system and investigations into whether the port can accommodate some of the larger container vessels now being deployed by the shipping lines. The work reinforces our focus on marine safety and navigation and will enhance our service delivery and the safety of the shipping operations in Port Phillip Bay. The larger vessel investigations are a collaborative effort with Port of Melbourne aimed at meeting emerging industry needs with the shipping lines. In May 2018, VPCM received funding in the Victorian Government budget to enable planning to accommodate the growing maritime passenger industry at Station Pier. This is in response to the increasing number of cruise ships and cruise passengers visiting Melbourne each season and the announcement by the Tasmanian Government that TT-Line is purchasing two new, larger vessels for its domestic ferry service. 6 Victorian Ports Corporation (Melbourne) 2017-18 Annual Report From the Chief Executive Officer The 2017-18 year has seen Victorian Ports While Port Phillip Bay is the gateway for Corporation (Melbourne) (VPCM) move forward commercial shipping it is also a much-loved confidently and set a firm foundation for the future. community asset used for boating, fishing, yachting and other aquatic pastimes.

We are also concerned with the safety of recreational users of the bay and to spread the safety messages to more people we have increased our support activities for our ongoing Rachel Johnson Steer Clear boating safety patrols. Chief Executive Officer Those support activities included the production of two educational safety videos, courtesy of a grant from the Minister for Ports, and an ongoing program of visits by senior staff members to boating, yachting and angling clubs around Port Phillip Bay. We successfully catered for the largest cruise shipping season ever seen in Melbourne – a record 108 cruise ship visits to Station Pier with a record 331,614 passengers and crew using the pier between October 2017 and June 2018. We have restructured our fees and charges to better reflect the actual use of Station Pier by visiting cruise ships. This involved removing the time-based berth hire fee and introducing the new Site Occupation Charge. Increases to other fees and charges were kept to a modest 1.9% in line with CPI. Successful negotiations were concluded during the year for a new staff Enterprise Agreement (EA) which has been approved by the Australian Fair Work Commission. The EA sets out a range of contemporary terms and conditions of employment for VPCM staff covering a period of four years.

  • MANLY FERRIES BALGOWLAH, BARRENJOEY and BARAGOOLA
    MANLY FERRIES BALGOWLAH, BARRENJOEY and BARAGOOLA Tony Prescott and Ross Willson This article originally appeared in The Log, vol. 12, no. 3 New Series (25 August 1979), pp. 78-85 It has been edited for digital publication on 27 December 2007. © The authors 2007. Drawings © Peter Nicolson 1970. Baragoola in the 1980s, in her final years as a government-operated ferry. (Tony Prescott) INTRODUCTION The popular image of the Manly ferry during the present century has very much evolved around the "class" (to use a naval term loosely) of six very similar double-ended screw steamers built for the Port Jackson Co-operative Steamship Co. Ltd. and the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Co. Ltd. between 1905 and 1922. These six steamers were to be eclipsed in size, speed, accommodation and glamour by the Scottish-built Dee Why and Curl Curl of 1928 (The Log, May 1977) and South Steyne of 1938 (The Log, August 1983, November 1983). However, the smaller boats were to prove more economically practical in the long-term and two of them, both to be described in this article, are still in service while the Scottish boats have been withdrawn. Up to the early years of this century, the Port Jackson company operated a fleet consisting almost entirely of paddle steamers. The reason for the relatively late transition to screw propulsion lay in the necessity of using double-ended ships due to the configuration of Sydney Harbour with its many coves and the difficulties of turning in the Circular Quay terminus. Smaller double-ended ferries had been found to operate quite successfully with screw propulsion, but the Manly service had speed and heavy weather requirements which necessitated fine bows on the ships.
