Berth 3

Berth 3 is a dedicated grain berth, layup area and cruise ship mooring when grain exports permit. Berth 3 was originally constructed in 1928 as a concrete deck on concrete encased steel piles.  The berth was refurbished with a new deck installed over the original slab in 1996/97. Steel piles were installed at mid-span and the berth was extended. The extended berth deck is supported by a two way spanning steel beam system. The berth pocket is protected from land slip by a steel sheet pile wall anchored by steel ties.

In 2003, dolphins, steel piles and beams were installed.  A grain ship loader and associated conveyor system are owned, operated and managed by Cooperative Bulk Handling (CBH).
