Only 1 ship could get in. Most passengers are elderly and will just not leave the ship if they have to get off via the tender system.

the dredged material and make the greens

natural habituate .

Fed Member Warren ENTSCH
Mayor Bob MANNING
Both were negative & dismissive of my expounded viewpoints on potential MAJOR PROJECT alternative large Cruise Vessel berthing facilities. And yet, here they dismiss
also the remaining possibility to grow ship visitation to Port of Cairns without adequate Public consultation.
HOW can I get my IDEAS heard & debated
in a Public Forum of open minds?

Between May and end of November this year there will only be 1 ship that will come to the wharf two times within this period, at the same time there will be 13 ships anchored off Yorkeys. What about the crew, if the ship is at Trinity Wharf they will go shopping for 2 hours each. On the average there is 1 crew for every 2 passengers. The Queen Mary 2 is such an example of the enormity of some of the cruise liners coming into our waters next year.
