  • No foreign crews push: ASA
    While so-called second registers established in some countries have provided for the employment of foreign crews, that is not the aim of local owners pursuing a second register in Australia, according to the Australian Shipowners Association.
    The ASA's manager maritime policy, Bob Hartley, was responding yesterday to news reports that MUA deputy national secretary Paddy Crumlin had rejected the introduction of a second register on the grounds it would lead to Australian crews being replaced by cheaper foreign crews.
    "Our position is quite clear," Mr Crumlin said. "That's the equivalent of introducing guest labor into an Australian industry.
  • Sydney to get indy CTO next year
    Independent cargo terminal operations could finally begin at Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport from early next year, Sydney Airport revealed yesterday.
    Two foreign-owned groups -- Cargo Service Center Australia Pty Ltd and BOC Cargo Services Australia -- will join incumbent CTO providers Ansett and Australian air Express in final negotiations with the airport for new CTO licenses and the right to develop new cargo facilities.
    Australia's biggest CTO, Qantas, has a separate long-term agreement for continued operations at the airport until 2017.
    Sydney Airport freight manager Mike Halleen described the calibre of the successful tenders as "incredible" and indicated the airport had agreed to build the proposed CTO facilities on the northern land site rather than two other on-airport sites which were also under consideration.
  • Dutch seek foothold
    Melbourne: The world's largest dedicated air cargo handling company -- the Dutch-owned Cargo Service Center -- is one of four groups nominated to build CTO facilities at Sydney Airport.
    The chief executive of CSC's operations in Australia David Murray told DCN yesterday that the Dutch holding company was hoping to get a foothold in the lucrative Australasian air freight market, despite the recent downturn in the region's economic climate.
    "We see it as part of our global strategy -- we need to be represented in this part of the world because we have client airlines who fly in here."
    He said the company, which has 76 CTO stations in 22 countries worldwide, was initially targeting investment in dedicated on-airport CTO facilities in Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and possibly Melbourne.
  • BSA to slot charter in interim deal
    An agreement in principle is about to be reached between Maersk Line and Blue Star Line to continue operations on the east coast Australia-north and east Asia route until January 1999.
    While the agreement has still to be signed, it is understood that when the current arrangements end in October, Maersk Line will be providing the vessels and Blue Star Line will charter slots on those ships.
    It is possible that one or two of the existing Blue Star Line ships, the Australia Star and the Choyang Sydney, will be chartered-in by Maersk.
    This, however, remains to be confirmed.
    This time-frame will allow Blue Star Line to decide on which course it wants to pursue in the trade.
