Description
Following the construction of the new land backed berths in 1964, 1965 and 1972, the Deepwater Jetty underwent minor changes to modify it for its role as the tanker berth. It was from this function that the jetty became known as the ‘Tanker’ jetty.
The shortened jetty length of 2198ft (670m) refers to the length of the remaining jetty following the demolition of a 200m section in the 1980s resulting in a small detached section remaining extant at the head of the jetty which became known as the ‘island’. This was removed on 14th June 2015.
