  • Corrigan hails dock records
    Some Australian ports, particularly Melbourne, are now operating at the very best of international best practice according to the chairman of Patrick, Christopher Corrigan.
    Speaking in Sydney yesterday at a luncheon of the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce, Mr Corrigan said six months after a report from the Productivity Commission which slammed Australia's waterfront performance and after one of the toughest industrial conflicts in the nation's history, there had been a dramatic improvement.
    "In fact in Melbourne at East Swanson Dock some of those same employees who were rated near the bottom of the pile by the Productivity Commission are beating the world's best performance benchmarks," Mr Corrigan said.

    He said Australia had two choices; refine the design concepts on which the industry based its success, or examine all alternatives however unlikely they may appear.
    In the case of the first choice the industry was undertaking the required 'incremental development' research into areas such as refinement of aluminium welding techniques and hull design and simply paid for additional expertise in those areas as required.

    The action is taking place in a total of 18 Asia-Pacific countries and their 73 maritime and waterfront unions involving 300,000 union members who have mobilised to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the ITF's flag of convenience campaign to eliminate cheap ship registers and substandard ships and stamp out the exploitation of seafarers.

    Although the OOCL proposal is mentioned, no hint is given if and when the project will proceed.
    "In the first quarter of the reporting period extensive discussions were held involving Sydney Ports, the NSW government, and potential terminal operator, OOCL," the report said. "In-principle agreement was reached on the major parameters of the proposal for a third container terminal at Botany.
