  • Manning level dispute hits safety authority
    A DISPUTE between the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and the Australian Institute of Marine and Power Engineers over manning aboard one of the Authority's vessels has gone before the Australian Industrial Relations Commission.
    The parties are now involved in discussions following the Authority's move to reduce manning aboard its vessel, the Cape Grafton.
    It is understood the reduction in manning is part of off-sets required by the Authority as part of an enterprise based agreement.
  • Bulk rates on rapid decline
    THE current depression within the dry bulk shipping market has seen freight rates decline across the entire sector and the Baltic Freight Index slide to below 900, a level unseen for 11 years.
    The crisis in Asia has undoubtedly undermined confidence in the sector, but of far greater importance is the inherent over capacity in the market.
    With much of the current fleet consisting of relatively modern vessels, the prospect for large increases in the level of scrapping looks limited and consequently, it is expected that recovery in the market must be led by demand.
  • Melb "commended" for price reductions
    PORT pricing reductions announced by port authorities in Melbourne and Sydney this week have been warmly welcomed by shipping lines according to the chief executive officer of Liner Shipping Services Ltd, Llew Russell.
    "Admittedly, this process of pricing reform must be ongoing but these reductions have made a major contribution to that process," Mr Russell said.
    He added that the 14 per cent reduction in the base rate in Melbourne channel usage charges as well as the significant reduction in wharfage on empty containers, will be passed on to shippers via the port service charge mechanism.
  • Carriage of Goods "compromise package"
    CARRIER liability for loss, damage or delays to Australian international and interstate coastal cargoes has been extended in scope, enhancing the protection afforded to Australian shippers of sea cargoes.
    Commenting on the Carriage of Goods by Sea Regulations 1998 which came into force on Wednesday, the Minister for Workplace Relations, Peter Reith, said these will improve Australia's marine cargo liability regime to:
    * cover all relevant contracts of carriage (with certain exceptions for coastal cargoes), including electronic forms of contracts of carriage, rather than only bills of lading;
    * extend coverage to cargoes carried on deck (other than live animals), with certain limited exceptions able to be agreed between shipper and carrier;
    * extend the duration of carrier liability to a terminal to terminal basis (from a "hook to hook" basis);
    * provide some recompense for shippers' losses to inexcusable delays; and
    * in limited circumstances, provide coverage for Australian import cargo (ie., only where the contract of carriage is not subject to one of the international conventions on cargo liability or a local modification of one of these conventions).
