Sydney Gateway is comprised of two projects: · Sydney Gateway road project (the project) · Port Botany Rail Duplication – to duplicate a three kilometre section of the Port Botany freight rail line. NSW Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) and Sydney Airport Corporation Limited propose to build the Sydney Gateway road project, to provide new direct high capacity road connections linking the Sydney motorway network with Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (Sydney Airport). The location of Sydney Gateway, including the project, is shown on Figure 1.1. Roads and Maritime has formed the view that the project is likely to significantly affect the environment. On this basis, the project is declared to be State significant infrastructure under Division 5.2 of the NSW Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act), and needs approval from the NSW Minister for Planning.

  • Existing Port Facilities CHAPTER 3
    Existing Port Facilities CHAPTER 3 Summary of key outcomes: Sydney’s ports provide a vital economic gateway for the Australian and NSW economies. In 2001/02, Sydney’s ports handled approximately $42 billion worth of international trade which represents 17% of Australia’s total international trade and 56% of NSW’s international air and sea cargo trade by value. Due to its proximity to the Sydney market, Port Botany is and will remain the primary port for the import and export of containerised cargo in NSW. Currently, over 90% of container trade passing through Sydney’s ports is handled at Port Botany. Port Botany Expansion Environmental Impact Statement – Volume 1 Existing Port Facilities CHAPTER 3 3 Existing Port Facilities 3.1 Role and Significance of Sydney’s Ports The port facilities of Sydney are located at Port Botany and within Sydney Harbour. These ports, along with the airport, are the economic gateways to NSW. This is reflected by the fact that in 2001/02 Sydney’s ports handled approximately $42 billion worth of international trade. This represents: $10,000 for each person in the greater Sydney region, which has a population of close to 4 million; 56% of NSW’s total international air and sea cargo trade by value; and 17% of Australia’s total international trade. Cargo throughput through Sydney’s ports (Sydney Ports Corporation owned and private berths) during 2001/02 was 24.3 million mass tonnes, with containerised cargo accounting for 43.9%. This trade comprised more than 1 million TEUs, 183,000 motor vehicles and about 13.6 million mass tonnes of bulk and general cargo.

  • Port Botany Avoids 100+ Hours in Transit Delays with NCOS Online
    CASE STUDY Port Botany avoids 100+ hours in transit delays with NCOS Online In July 2020 Port Botany was able to minimize impacts to vessel transit schedules as an East Coast Low (ECL) caused hazardous conditions along most of the East Australian seaboard. As one of the largest container ports in Australia, Port Botany has taken several proactive measures to remove as many bottlenecks in the supply chain as possible. The Port has used NCOS Online since mid-2019 as one of these measures. NCOS Online is a revolutionary science- based digital port management system, which is able to dynamically and accurately plan ship transits during times of rough weather. Key Outcomes during the event of the July 2020 Australian ECL: Over 100 hours Clearing the transit More than 700K AUD of transit delays backlog 1.5 days in cost-savings for avoided faster key customers About the Client Port Botany is a deep-water seaport located in Botany Bay, Sydney. It is one of Australia’s largest container ports and specialises in trade in manufactured products and bulk liquid imports including petroleum and natural gas. Port Authority of New South Wales manages the navigation, security and operational safety needs of commercial shipping in Sydney Harbour, Port Botany, Newcastle Harbour, Port Kembla, Eden and Yamba. portauthoritynsw.com.au East Coast Lows Common during winter months, east coast lows (ECL) are one of the most dangerous weather systems to affect Australia’s east coast. These low- pressure systems have relatively long lifecycles, typically about a week, and can produce gale to storm-force winds, heavy widespread rainfall, and very rough seas and prolonged heavy swells.
