Goliath denied access

The Tasmanian Harbour Master has denied CSL’s vessel, the Goliath, access to Tasmanian waters.

TasPorts CEO Anthony Donald said the decision was taken after an incident involving the vessel on Monday (6 March) was reported by a TasPorts’ marine pilot.

“The denial of access will remain in place until a detailed report is provided to the Tasmanian Harbour Master by CSL, that includes required remedies to the issue identified,” he said.

“The protection of human life, marine assets and the environment are critical considerations for all vessel movements in Tasmanian waters.”
