  • MUA warns of March chaos
    Australian shipping will be thrown into chaos if current industry-wide employment arrangements for seafarers are unilaterally abandoned on 1 March.
    This was claimed yesterday by the national secretary of the Maritime union of Australia, John Coombs, who spoke at the Waterfront and Shipping Reform Congress in Sydney.
  • Damages claims against union
    LEGAL action on several new fronts is expected following the latest strike by members of the Maritime Union of Australian at East Swanson Dock in Melbourne.
    DCN sources said yesterday they expected legal action for damages to be launched either late yesterday or this morning.

  • Poor watchkeeping ‘caused collision’
    THE DEATHS of two children and their father following a collision between the US yacht, Melinda Lee, and the South Korean merchant vessel, Pan Grace, off northern New Zealand in November 1995, could have been avoided if proper watches had been kept on both vessels, according to the coroner’s report on the incident.
    The Northland Coroner, Heather Ayrton, said given that the coast off Northland was a busy shipping area and that a large number of yachts access ports along the coast, vigilance by all crews was required in order to avoid similar collisions.
  • ACCI: Users must take action
    WHILE it is still important for government to provide the right legislative environment, the days of waiting for the government to directly solve problems are well and truly over, according to Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry executive director John Martin.
    He told the Waterfront & Shipping Reform Congress organised by IBC Conferences at Darling Harbour yesterday that it was now up to those who use and are dependent upon the waterfront themselves to create the sort of industry that is required to ensure Australia’s international competitiveness.
  • ALP says ‘Blind hatred is driving govt’
    VINDICTIVENESS and blind hatred of the Maritime Union of Australia are driving the federal government in the current waterfront dispute in Melbourne.
    This is the belief of shadow transport minister Lindsay Tanner, who spoke at the Waterfront & Shipping Reform Congress in Sydney yesterday.
    Mr Tanner was highly critical of the recent actions of the federal government as well as Patrick and the National Farmers’ Federation.
