en.Wedoany.com Reported - Progress has been made on the Geraldton Port Maximisation Project (PMaxP), with Mid West Ports awarding the swell protection breakwater construction contract to MGN Civil Pty Ltd, marking a new phase in this key state government project.

The breakwater is a critical component of the PMaxP project, supported by A$350 million in state government funding. The project aims to support the port's future trade growth and serve emerging industries. The port has long been plagued by swell wave activity, which causes at least 30 operational days of closure each year.

Once completed, the new breakwater is expected to significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of swell events, enhancing the port's overall throughput capacity. Mid West Ports stated that this initiative will lower shipping costs for all customers and ensure that emergency grain export plans following each harvest season are not delayed. Additionally, the breakwater design will provide a more sheltered mooring area for port tugs.
