Toll has won a $90 million transport and logistics contract to service the INPEX-operated Ichthys LNG project.
As part of the ten-year contract Toll will design and operate the project’s offshore logistics base in the Northern Territory as well as provide ongoing logistical support for the project in the Browse Basin, located off the northern coast of Western Australia.
The offshore base will support major offshore facilities in the Ichtys Field, which is located 820 kilometres southwest of Darwin.
It will include supplying materials to the project’s floating production, storage and offloading vessel and central processing facility.
Toll will also own the yet-to-be-built INPEX-dedicated facility to be located in Darwin’s East Arm Business Park Precinct.
Toll’s CEO of global resources David Jackson said the company was well-placed to services Australia’s growing oil and gas sector.
“This facility, along with the associated drilling support facility, developed for INPEX in Broome by the Toll Mermaid joint venture, demonstrates Toll’s commitment to invest in world-class facilities for our customers’ world-class projects,” Jackson said.
Construction is expected to be completed in early 2015.
