Goliath decision update

The CSL Group-owned Goliath will be allowed to berth at the Port of Devonport today (9 March).

The Tasmanian Harbour Master had previously denied the vessel access to Tasmanian waters after human error led to engine failure while the vessel was departing the Port of Devonport on Monday (6 March).

TasPorts CEO Anthony Donald said the Harbour Master had now approved the Goliath to berth at the Port of Devonport after CSL provided the Harbour Master with a report about the incident that included remedial actions.

In acknowledging the directions of the Harbour Master this week, Mr Donald said the protection of human life, marine assets and the environment were critical considerations for all vessel movements in Tasmanian waters.
