No one mine in the world has as much mobile machinery as Grasberg. At the beginning of 2013, over 450 Cummins engines were in service at Freeport-McMoRan’s mine and port operations. Built at an oxygen-depleted altitude of 4,285 metres (14,000 ft), Grasberg is a spectacular feat of engineering. It is the world’s largest copper and gold mine in terms of reserves, and its operations are on a scale unique even by the standards of modern mega-mining. While the spectacular open pit dominates the landscape, one of the world’s largest underground mining operations is also part of the Grasberg complex. Production from the underground ore bodies, which are beneath and adjacent to the Grasberg open pit, are expected to ramp up over several years to around 240,000 tonnes a day. Open pit mining began at Grasberg in 1990 and will continue through to 2016. Pampered pooches enjoy four-poster beds It’s a dog’s life at Kepala resort. and TV at Kepala resort. To ensure its engines provide the highest levels of uptime, Cummins has a service support team of 45 at Grasberg, headed up by 10 hand-picked diesel technicians from Cummins branches in Australia.

    1/11 Home Parliamentary Business Committees Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Inquiry into Strengthening Australia’s Relationships with Countries in the Pacific region March 2020 Submission by Neil Baird PhD Proposal for a Pacific Safe Ferry Project: Similar to the Pacific Patrol Boat Scheme Contact: Dr Neil Baird Email: Phone: 2/11 Proposal for a Pacific Safe Ferry Project THE PROPONENT: Neil Baird is a semi-retired publisher of international maritime trade magazines, books and a website and organiser of maritime trade exhibitions globally (See: www.bairdmaritime.com). From 2015 to 2017 he completed a PhD at the Australian National Centre for Ocean Research and Security at the University of Wollongong. The title of his thesis was “Fatal Ferry Accidents, Their Causes and Prevention”. This work arose from a more than thirty-year study of passenger vessel accidents and extensive published writing on that subject of which he is widely known as one of the world’s leading experts.. Arising from his doctoral research, Dr Baird has completed several projects with INTERFERRY (www.interferry.org) , the international trade association of ferry owners, mainly through its associated FerrySafe project. He has presented to and worked with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and other international bodies such as the China Maritime Safety Administration. At a Pacific Islands Forum/IMO conference in Port Moresby in April 2018 he developed the Pacific Safe Ferry Project idea. It was discussed there with all delegates, who unanimously liked the idea. The New Zealand delegates took the idea back to their government, which has already acted on it, see article on Te Kaniva attached.

  • Spirit of the Wild” Naming Speech by Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner Ac Governor of Tasmania Princes Wharf No
    “SPIRIT OF THE WILD” NAMING SPEECH BY HER EXCELLENCY PROFESSOR THE HONOURABLE KATE WARNER AC GOVERNOR OF TASMANIA PRINCES WHARF NO. 1, HOBART, MONDAY 14 MAY 2018 Good afternoon and thank you for inviting me as RACT Patron to officiate at this naming ceremony for the new Gordon River Cruises vessel, “Spirit of the Wild”. I begin by paying my respects to the traditional and original owners of this land— the Mouheneener people. I acknowledge the contemporary Tasmanian Aboriginal community, who have survived invasion and dispossession, and continue to maintain their identity, culture and Indigenous rights. May I acknowledge among you: ➢ Kathryn Westwood, Board President; ➢ Harvey Lennon, Chief Executive; ➢ Toby Richardson, co-director Richardson Devine Marine. In this the fourth year in which Gordon River Cruises has been owned and operated by the RACT, the delivery of “Spirit of the Wild” is a most significant achievement. The vessel will join and then replace “Lady Jane Franklin II”, and the small-group “MV Sophia”, in ensuring that Gordon River Cruises is able to continue to offer a pre-eminent Australian eco-tour experience. In this context it is important to record also that the Strahan waterfront is benefiting from upgrades in excess of 6.5 million dollars, through the five-year Community Asset Program funded by funded by TasPorts and the State Government. The West Coast Council has also expended considerable monies on street-scaping of the Strahan Wharf and cruise precinct. And TasPorts has worked very effectively with cruise terminal tenants World Heritage Cruises and RACT Destinations to effect the necessary cruise terminal redevelopment associated with the ultra-sophisticated of “Spirit of the Wild”.

  • Legislative Council Select Committee on Tourism in Tasmania Met in Nubeena Council Chambers, Nubeena, on Thursday 26 August 2010
    THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL SELECT COMMITTEE ON TOURISM IN TASMANIA MET IN NUBEENA COUNCIL CHAMBERS, NUBEENA, ON THURSDAY 26 AUGUST 2010. Mr ROGER JOHN SELF, CHAIR, PORT ARTHUR AND TASMAN TOURISM ASSOCIATION, WAS CALLED, MADE THE STATUTORY DECLARATION AND WAS EXAMINED. CHAIR (Mr Wing) - Welcome, Mr Self. We would like to hear your views about tourism here and in general. Mr SELF - I believe this area is the number one tourist destination. We have a lot of natural attributes with the scenery, and Port Arthur of course. That is a great drawcard. I think Port Arthur is a bit of an iconic tourist mecca, with some 300 000 people a year going through it. I think the Government on the whole is giving us support in every way. I own a tourist coach and have owned several school buses, a tow truck and hire care service. I am involved in transport a lot and for 17 years I have been a Tasman councillor. I had a term of two years as mayor and two years at deputy mayor and my main grouch has been the road. I have been following that for the 30 years I've been down here. There is no parochialism with this, but up north we see it over and over, and you've heard it over and over, they seem to have beautiful roads and down here it's the same old story. This is the number one tourist destination - some 300 000 people visit Port Arthur. But the road is absolutely saturated with heavy machinery, hire cars, campervans and trucks.
