Kimberley Marine Support Base

Opti­mis­ing marine logis­tics in the North West.

Kim­ber­ley Marine Sup­port Base (KMSB) has devel­oped a mod­ern marine logis­tics facil­i­ty with­in the Port of Broome, and designed specif­i­cal­ly for Broome’s unique envi­ron­ment and extreme tidal fluc­tu­a­tion. Strate­gi­cal­ly posi­tioned and pur­pose-built to serve and sup­port the min­ing, ener­gy, car­go, agri­cul­ture, and cruise sec­tors. Strate­gi­cal­ly posi­tioned to serve ves­sels oper­at­ing across the Kim­ber­ley and Pil­bara regions, KMSB offers a robust and flex­i­ble logis­tics solution. 

At the heart of the facil­i­ty is a state-of-the-art float­ing wharf, engi­neered to oper­ate ²⁴⁄₇ despite Broome’s extreme tidal vari­a­tions. The 11,500+ tonne, 9,250 square metre struc­ture fea­tures a 255-metre berth line, north­ern and south­ern dol­phins, a 400-metre bi-direc­tion­al cause­way, and an 85-metre linkspan bridge.

KMSB is equipped for high-load oper­a­tions, includ­ing a high-capac­i­ty mobile har­bour crane for car­go, sub­sea equip­ment, and mod­ules. Inte­grat­ed diesel bunker­ing deliv­ers up to 200,000 litres per hour. The facil­i­ty also includes over 20 hectares of land­side capa­bil­i­ty, pro­gres­sive­ly com­ing online to sup­port just-in-time stag­ing and broad­er project mobilisation.

Designed to han­dle a wide array of car­go for­mats — con­tainer­ised freight, bulk and break-bulk car­go, con­struc­tion mod­ules, crit­i­cal min­er­als, and roll-on/roll-off ves­sels, KMSB also accom­mo­dates over­sized com­po­nents such as wind tur­bine blades, solar sys­tems, and com­mer­cial bat­tery imports for the renew­able ener­gy sector.

The new facil­i­ty offi­cial­ly opened on Fri­day, 12 Sep­tem­ber 2025.
