What sort of interventions are Gorgon Quarantine using to prevent non-indigenous species reaching Barrow Island?
A. All materials and equipment being mobilised to Barrow Island will be containerised, wrapped or covered. This provides a safe envelope for the application of treatments as well as preserving the quarantine integrity of the item. Gorgon Quarantine is employing a number of strategies for the treatment of materials and equipment destined for Barrow Island. All chemical treatments meet or exceed the requirements for safety and will only be applied by licensed operators under controlled conditions. Collour coded quarantine tags will be affixed to all quarantine compliant materials and equipment. They indicate whether an item has been inspected and cleared and determine whether it can be transported to either a supply base of Barrow Island. Items with no tag are not quarantine compliant and cannot be moved within the supply chain.
