Welcome to P&M Consultants
Cruise Terminals
The growth of the cruise shipping industry has until recently been relatively steady with increasing visits locally in Australia and overseas, particularly to new destinations. Increases in vessel size have required assessments and sometimes upgrades or retrofits of existing wharves and navigational access. Vessel drafts remain typically below 10m to afford greatest access to remote locations.
Our director’s project experience in facilities for the cruise shipping industry has involved:
- Feasibility studies for new cruise piers
- Feasibility studies and business cases for extensions of exisiting wharves for cruise ships
- Preliminary design and reference design of cruise facilities
- APEC PNG Cruise Facility Upgrade project
- Navigational assessments for cruise facilities
- Leading government delegations on overseas fact finding missions
Assets designed or specified include:
- Wharves
- Berthing and mooring structures
- Services corridors
- Elevated passenger walkways and boarding bridges
- Dredging for navigation areas

Container Terminals
The container terminal industry is constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and productivity.
Larger deeper draft vessels require ever greater depth alongside larger cranes with greater reach and faster turnarounds.
To meet throughput demands terminal operations are migrating towards larger scale container handling equipment, stack heights and ultimately automation.
Multipurpose Terminals
Multipurpose terminals are a key port solution allowing an array of different operations to coexist and share common port assets.
They allow ports to leverage their limited key assets, improve berth occupancy and returns without necessarily sacrificing vessel service efficiency.
Dry Bulk Terminals
Dry bulk terminal facilities are specialised, each requiring tailored solutions from port storage, to reclaiming, conveyors, transfer towers, trippers and ship loaders.
The diversity of solutions is evidenced by the modes of delivery of cargo to dry bulk ships from the more conventional rail and road to containerisation and slurry pipelines.
