ข่าวต่างประเทศ Monday October 6, 1997 09:31 —Asianet Press Release

NORTHERN TERRITORY/October 3, 1997/ MedianetInternational/AsiaNet/-- Australia's Northern Territory Minister for Asian Relations, Trade and Industry, Daryl Manzie, has welcomed yesterday's announcement of the developer for a $US15 million supply base which will be established in Darwin to service the offshore oil and gas industry. The successful consortium, chosen from 14 applicants, consists of local company Oilnet Pty Ltd and partners Sembawang Maritime Ltd and Kvaerner Oil and Gas Australia Pty Ltd. "With the establishment of the Darwin Offshore Supply Base attracting new technology and capital investment to the Northern Territory, Darwin is sure to become a world class service centre for South East Asia," Mr Manzie said. "As Lands, Planning and Environment Minister Mick Palmer said yesterday, this type of ancillary industry further enhances Darwin's position as a transport and logistics hub in the region." Mr Manzie said the range of services offered by the supply base, including rig tender support, operation and maintenance support, stevedoring and freight forwarding, would ensure this facility provided state of the art mining support for the Northern Territory, Papua New Guinea and possibly regions in Eastern Indonesia. At a cost of $US15 million and with construction commencing as soon as possible, the new facility will be located on about 20 hectares of land next to the new $US60 million East Arm Port. The consortium plans to build a 10,000 square metre warehouse with provision for 100,000 square metres of outside storage, as well as berthing facilities for rig tenders. "Darwin's well established infrastructure and easy access to services make it an attractive locale for this world class offshore supply base." "As Minister for Asian Relations, Trade and Industry, I congratulate all those involved in the establishment of the offshore oil base and guarantee my total support for the project."
