  • Focus shifts to P&O Ports
    Patrick is poised to introduce its new enterprise agreement across the country this morning, while P&O Ports is meeting opposition to its first steps at changing work practices at its waterfront facilities.
    On Friday, Patrick was on-line for this morning’s implementation of the agreement with more than 500 redundancies due to take effect on Sunday, including 316 operational waterfront workers, members of the Maritime Union of Australia and 110 stevedoring supervisors, who belong to the Australian Maritime Officers Union.
    Another 100 to 150 workers were also due to leave, but many of them will be re-employed by sub-contractors, including the maintenance sub-contractor, Fluor Daniel, which was still finalising an agreement with the union.
  • Marine Act review delaying decisions
    The Victorian government’s review of the Marine Act has progressed a further step further with the circulation to stakeholders of a discussion paper on legislative restrictions in competition.
    However, the likelihood that the review will not meet its original timetable is worrying service providers affected by possible outcomes.
    The review looks at the Act in general terms as well as exploring competition issues.
    Submissions from interested parties closed on 23 June and went before a three-member intra-departmental independent panel for comment.
  • FreightCorp opens Tamworth interchange
    NSW rail freight operator FreightCorp officially opened its new Tamworth Freight Centre last week to coincide with the start-up of regular intermodal services between Tamworth and Sydney and Newcastle ports.
    The opening of the Tamworth terminal is part of FreightCorp’s strategy to increase the amount of containerised freight transported by rail through alliances with private companies. It is the most recent of a network of intermodal freight terminals established throughout regional NSW.
    FreightCorp is also expected to formally announce next week the start-up of services at its new intermodal terminal at Clyde, in Sydney’s west. It is understood the terminal will be managed by FCL, and that FreightCorp plans daily rail shuttle services between Port Botany and Clyde.
  • Remaining SPS ships for sale
    The saga of collapsed South Pacific Shipping is slowly drawing to an end with the sale of two of the company’s vessels in Australia and the calling of tenders for the sale of the remaining three vessels in New Zealand.
    Last week the Federal Court divulged the price achieved for the Rangitata ($US3,164,654) and the Turakina ($US3,143,687), with both ships going to German owners for further trading, the latter vessel expected to remain in the south Pacific.
    Both ships are now at Sydney’s Darling Harbour pending departure under the control of their new owners.
