    Vladivostok's Far Eastern Shipping Company will next month make its long-anticipated move to a weekly schedule for its FESCO Australia North America Line service -- and will do so comprehensively by adding a seventh and eighth ship simultaneously.

  • Sydney holds figures down
    Overall national stevedoring productivity, as measured by the five-port average, did not change significantly in the March quarter of this year according to the latest Waterline report published by the Bureau of Transport Economics on Friday.

    The five-port average net rate (productivity per ship while the ship is worked) was 23.7 containers an hour (provisional) compared with 24.3 containers per hour in the December quarter.
  • MUA-ACCC impasse heightens fears
    Patience was running low on the waterfront over the weekend with no sign of a breakthrough in the impasse between the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and the Maritime Union of Australia.
    A senior industry source said no one in the industry would like to see the return of the chaos which reigned at the height of the dispute between Patrick and the MUA.
    However, it increasingly looked that no out of court solution was likely, with both the ACCC and the MUA sticking to their respective positions.
  • West Webb car terminal gets underway
    After five months of delay, Stage 1 of Strang Stevedoring Australia's new car terminal at West Webb Dock in the port of Melbourne is 'all systems go'.
    According to Strang's David Stephenson: "Earth-moving has commenced now that we have the 'green light' from all the official channels."
    The $12 million terminal will initially have two T-finger berths, to speed up the time taken for construction. In the longer term, SSA has the option to fill in the gaps and build a proper wharf face.
