Fort Hill wharfis where Mistral and others berth, it is the main cruise ship berth and leased to Landbridge as part of the 99 yr harbour facilities lease.Hi Assail
You have just answered the question I was about to ask re Wharf location ( Thanks Pusser01 )
Is this new wharf to be used solely for defence?
Not being familiar with Darwin, I had a look on Google Maps and interestingly there appears to be an LHD tied up at a near by wharf, which I think is called Stokes Hill Wharf.
It appears to be a French Mistral class LHD, Can you confirm seeing said ship in those waters.
I would imagine this location is the current wharf for the Canberra class to dock when in Darwin.
All the best up North

The proposed wharf is in the same location as DNB (Darwin Naval Base) but is outside the rock wall which protects the PBS from tide and swell. It sits in the strongest tidal streams experienced in the harbour, up to 4.5 Kts on top springs.
