Workshops Pier at Seaworks Built in 1942, Workshops Pier at Seaworks in Williamstown remains the only public port facility in Melbourne’s inner city capable of accommodating large vessels. Following a major reconstruction, the pier has been reinforced with 90 new steel piles, using around 1.7 kilometres of steel along with a rebuilt low landing and essential service upgrades, securing its future as a working deep water berth for decades to come.
Workshops Pier is now the primary berthing site for visiting tall ships, small commercial vessels, and historic ships, and will soon become the new home of Victoria’s Heritage Fleet, including Enterprize, Alma Doepel, and Wattle.
With Melbourne’s inner west’s only deep water public port facility now fully reinforced, Workshops Pier offers reliable commercial berthing for operators seeking a well-located, well-serviced base on Port Phillip Bay.
As the new home of Victoria’s Heritage Fleet and the primary berthing site for visiting tall ships, Workshops Pier welcomes historic and heritage vessels into a precinct purpose-built for maritime heritage, tourism, and public access.
Workshops Pier connects Williamstown’s waterfront to Victoria’s maritime past and present — from restored 20th-century infrastructure to the state’s official tall ship, Enterprize. It’s a working port, a heritage destination, and a growing hub for maritime tourism in Melbourne’s west.
