The company said it was providing agency and logistics support to the offshore accommodation vessel MS Finnmarken, a cruise ship which houses a 350-strong workforce, mostly dredging crew workers.
"Supporting the Finnmarken is the most significant ongoing work we've had on the project to date," commentedNicholas Berry, account manager for Wilhelmsen Ships Service in Australia.
The company said it was also engaged in making advance arrangements for berthing and unberthing, as well as arranging timely bookings of port services to optimise berthing and sailing windows.
