National Ports Unveils the Mobidock™ a Revolutionary 60,000m² Scalable Floating Port to Rapidly Expand Global Port Capacity Perth, Australia, November 2022 Perth-based National Ports Corporation Limited has unveiled the Mobidock™ a 60,000m² (15 Acres) scalable floating port with a 520,000 DWT.

 

The revolutionary design is set to address the capacity crises and unlock revenues at busy ports worldwide. Port congestion is a global crisis Port congestion has become a major challenge in high-growth regions globally. This has been exacerbated by the pandemic and geo-political pressures around the world

 

Every major port globally is struggling to meet demand and remain commercially competitive. Excessive wait times for ship berthing and associated high demurrage costs are now the norm. And the effects of port congestion reverberate far beyond shipping providers; project44 estimates that retailers incurred approximately $321 million in added interest expense on inventory in 2021 due to port congestion.

 

Port capacity is essential for boosting international trade and boosting the revenue profile of nations; however, significant time and capital are required to build new port capacity. Moreover, open land next to deep water is no longer plentiful. Building deep-water berths is expensive and time-consuming, and dredging and environmental permitting are becoming more complicated, expensive and restrictive.

 

 

Around the world, floating ports are now considered the most economical way to expand port capacity. National Ports’ patented scalable ports offer an unrivalled opportunity to quickly and economically expand port capacity on a never-before-seen scale.

 

The Mobidock™ provide an uninterrupted laydown deck area of 60,000m² or more, plus over 700,000m³ of under-deck area. They have a deck strength of 15 tons per square meter (or as required by the client), over 600 meters of berthing space for easily berthing by any type of vessel and a deadweight (DWT) of 500,000 tons.
