All shipping movements are closed until further notice
Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) released an arcticle to advise that Sydney and Port Botany have been closed to all shipping movements since 22:00hrs, 14 October until further notice, due to storm force winds and swell at the pilot boarding grounds.
A small intense low pressure system is currently located off the New South Wales coast near Sydney and the Hunter district and is moving slowly northwards with an associated trough.
Gale to storm force southerly winds and large seas are extending along the coast behind the trough.
The low and trough will move slowly further offshore during Wednesday with an associated gradual easing in the winds.
A high pressure system will move across southern New South Wales by Friday, bringing more stable conditions for the later part of the week.
