  • Contingency planning underway as time runs out
    With time running out for the settlement of the dispute between Patrick and the Maritime Union of Australia, an increasing number of shipping lines and shippers have been looking at contingency measures.
    It now appears that the only way in which the matter can be resolved is if the MUA agrees to set aside several million dollars to satisfy possible compensation claims from shippers who have been injured by the union's dispute.
    The end of efforts to resolve the crisis could take place as soon as today, the deadline set by the banks which are seen as being central to the future of Patrick's four labor hire companies.

    "Manning levels in the industry will be reduced by just under half," he claimed.

  • Burnie loader repaired

    Harbour master Captain Mike Boss-Walker said the loader was damaged when 65 knot winds hit the port on Tuesday night.
    He said the gale caused the Cyprus-flagged, Greek-owned, 52,000 dwt carrier, Captain George II, to break eight of her 24 lines simultaneously.
