New Wharves For Brisbane
Brisbane, Wednesday. – The Harbors and Marine Department is building new wharf accommodation on the Hamilton reach of the river to facilitate the landing of southern steel cargoes.
The Treasurer (Mr. J. Larcombe) said to-day that in October, 1946, the Government had brought from the Navy Department three berths contructed for navy purposes during the war.
The Harbors and Marine Department was converting the berths, which are downstream from the Hamilton cold stores, to commercial purposes.
One of the berths, when ready for commercial lease, would be released to Broken Hill Pty. Ltd. and the Nixon Smith Shipping and Wool Dumping Co. Pty. Ltd.
Broken Hill Co. plans to use the wharf as its terminal for steel shipments from its southern works. Two six-ton cranes, similar to the type used in the Normandy invasion, are already on the wharf to handle steel cargoes from ship to
