    117 1 Estimated Capacity of The Port

    This document outlines three plausible development paths for increasing capacity at Swanson Dock: 1. Reaching maximum capacity of 5.2 million TEU would require upgrading the Sims Street junction, increasing off-peak distribution, developing an on-dock rail facility, and expanding straddle carrier operations and berth length over time. 2. Under a constrained vessel growth scenario, capacity would not exceed 4 million TEU. Upgrades would be limited to the Sims Street junction, expanding yard operations and implementing on-dock rail. 3. An unconstrained vessel growth scenario would not require increased capacity measures.

    10.3 Plausible capacity enhancement profile for Swanson Dock


    This section considers the plausible development path for Swanson Dock, to consider:
    1. Steps to reach maximum capacity

    2. Steps relevant to a constrained vessel growth scenario

    3. Steps relevant to an unconstrained vessel growth scenario

    10.3.2 To reach maximum capacity

    Figure 47 outlines a plausible development path to reach the maximum capacity of 5.2M TEU.
    This requires:

    4. Sims Street junction to be upgraded to ensure junction capacity is not limiting.

    5. Industry to continually increase the amount of off-peak distribution from the port

    6. The development of an on-dock rail facility and expansion of the straddle carrier
    operations over time. The rail share will help alleviate road junction capacity constraints
    7. The addition of extra STSC on the existing quay line initially, with future extension of the
    quay line and further STSC numbers later.

    10.3.3 Under a constrained vessel fleet scenario

    In Section 9.1.5 it was highlighted that under a constrained vessel fleet scenario Swanson Dock
    is not expected to reach its maximum capacity. The analysis indicates throughput will not
    exceed 4M TEU. Under this scenario, the capacity initiatives could be limited to:

    (1) The upgrade of Sims St junction after western distributor connects


    (2) The expansion of the footprint of Straddle Carrier operations and/or the
    implementation of an on-dock rail terminal

    (3) The addition of extra Ship to Shore Cranes on the existing berth.
    Figure 48 summarises the plausible capacity enhancement steps and highlights that the
    extension of the Swanson basin to create extra berth length may not be required.

    10.3.4 Unconstrained vessel fleet scenario

    Under an unconstrained vessel growth scenario, capacity does not need to be increased.

    10.3.5 Plausible development timeline for Swanson Dock

    A plausible development timeline has been applied to the constrained vessel scenario. This is
    illustrated in Figure 49, and indicates:

    a) Road & yard capacity is reached around 2030. This requires Sims St junction to be
    upgraded and yard capacity to be lifted prior to this date. If an on-dock rail and
    expanded Straddle Carrier system is proposed, these would need to be continually
    expanded to meet demand through to 2066.

    b) Berth capacity is expected to be reached at around 2055. This triggers the need for
    additional STSC’s on both the SDE and SDW terminals.
