Emergency Services Put To The Test At Newcastle Port

 BY IAN CROUCH

We're being told not to be alarmed if we see large numbers of emergency service personnel around the Port of Newcastle today.

The Port Authority is hosting its annual multi-agency training exercise from 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning.

It will involve representatives from Fire & Rescue NSW, NSW Ambulance, Transport for NSW, Port of Newcastle, Environment Protection Authority and the Australian Maritime Authority who'll be putting their capabilities to the test.

The exercise is due to wrap up by 1.00pm.
