  • Patrick suspends five in Brisbane
    Patrick yesterday suspended five members of the Maritime Union of Australia in Brisbane.
    The five workers were apparently caught "nicking off" on Wednesday.
    As the suspensions took place at press time, no further information was immediately available.
    However, the suspension of five workers in Brisbane and two in Fremantle is likely to increase tensions on the waterfront.
    While a strike and a go-slow followed the dismissals in Fremantle, there was no indication at press-time whether similar action will be taken in Brisbane.
    The company has dropped plans of pursuing the alleged go-slow in the port of Fremantle with the Australian Industrial Relations.
    The go-slow followed the dismissal of two workers who were alleged to have been caught "nicking off" last week.
  • ITF challenges P&O in Colombo
    The International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) move to oppose the privatisation of a port facility in Colombo was yesterday described as "disappointing" by the managing director of P&O Ports Ltd, Captain Richard Setchell.
    P&O Ports Ltd is one of the partners in the Colombo venture and holds a seven year management concession over the facility.
    "They don't understand the facts or the commercial realities of today's world," Captain Setchell said with reference to the ITF's opposition.
    "Everywhere around the world, even their neighbours in the north, are privatising their ports so the government can spend whatever surplus funds it's got on more needy social needs, such as hospitals, roads and schools."
    Captain Setchell made the point that the infrastructure developed by private industry can never be taken away from Sri Lanka.
    "So why not let foreign money build these infrastructure projects and they forever belong to Sri Lanka," he added.
    He said there was no intention of withdrawing from the project with the Sri Lankan authorities nominating 15 December for the signing of the 30 year concession and 1 March, 1998, for the takeover of the facility by the joint venture.
  • Port Kembla to ship softwood logs
    The first shipment of softwood logs has sailed from Port Kembla to South Korea.
    About 20,000 tonnes of logs will be exported over the next few months, developing an export industry that could earn New South Wales about $1.5 million per annum and create more than 30 jobs in harvesting, transport, log marshalling and stevedoring.
    "The New South Wales government plans to expand its softwood plantations to 210,000 hectares by 2000 and logs surplus to domestic downstream processing needs can be exported to boost the regional economies of Oberon and Wollongong and the state as a whole," the New South Wales Minister for Land and Water Conservation, Kim Yeadon, who attended the first shipment, said.
    The Port Kembla Port Corporation worked closely with State Forests to secure the export contract with Australian Plantation Exports which will on-sell the logs to South Korea's Hyosung Corporation.
    The contract is part of the Corporation's strategic development plan to utilise the large amount of available land to develop new cargo handling and storage facilities at the port.
    "Our 80 hectares of greenfield sites, coupled with our flexible pricing packages for new users, will allow us to build a more diverse profile of importers and exporters and ensure profitable returns for the port and for this region," the chief executive officer of the Port Kembla Port Corporation, Phillip McGavin, said.
