The Northern Territory Government is
delivering the largest ship lift in
northern Australia.
It's a four hundred
million dollar project developing new
infrastructure to lift ships out of the
water to allow them to be maintained in
Darwin.
The ship lift will be capable of
servicing offshore petroleum, fishing,
pearling, defence and border force
vessels.
The NT government is proposing
to build this project through a
competitive process and has in principle
agreement with Paspaley, a Territory
owned company headquartered in Darwin to
operate and maintain the project.
The ship lifted east arm will create about
100 jobs during construction but the
real benefit is the 400 long-term jobs
and the 260 million dollars in
additional economic activity each year.
