  • P&O Ports clears decks for change
    P&O Ports has moved a step closer to introducing changes in work practices on the waterfront by terminating existing, uncertified, enterprise agreements.
    This was confirmed yesterday by P&O Ports director, Australia and new Zealand, Andrew Burgess.
    Mr Burgess told DCN the Maritime Union of Australia was advised of the termination earlier this month and the agreements had since lapsed.
    He said this was pending the negotiation of new working arrangements which the stevedore wished to introduce in consultation with the union.
  • Bridge money welcome but inadequate
    While on the one hand welcoming the coalition's commitment to provide $20 million towards a National Highway bridge upgrade program -- to pave the way for the introduction of the NRTC's proposed new truck "mass limits" regime -- industry and local government organisations have generally labelled it "woefully inadequate".
    On Friday, Federal Transport Minister Mark Vaile said the $20 million in commonwealth funding would act as a catalyst for negotiations with the states on their contributions to the bridge upgrade program designed to enable truck mass limits to be increased from 42.5 to 45.5 tonnes for trucks with "road friendly suspensions".
  • 'Policies are off the track'
    Rail 2000 executive director of Mark Carter has roundly criticised the federal coalition and the ALP for displaying a lack of any real commitment to initiating the radical changes required by the industry after the 3 October election.
    He said the coalition's rail policy was still essentially based on its provision of $250 million in rail upgrade funding through the Australian Rail Track Corporation.
    "The only additional funding is $60 million and that's coming from the private sector and the States," Mr Carter said.
  • Narrabeen inquiry under way
    An investigation was in progress in Sydney yesterday to determine the causes of a near disaster at Sydney Harbour at the weekend.

    The incident occurred at about 4.30pm on Sunday when the vessel, capable of accommodating 1100 passengers, was sailing from Manly to Circular Quay with about 500 people on board.
  • Cotton-packin' first for Brisbane
    Brisbane is set to become the only Australian port to pack cotton at the wharf with a deal signed between the Port of Brisbane Corporation and Island Packing and Storage to build three cotton storage sheds on Fisherman Islands.
    The sheds, to be located behind wharves 6 and 7, will provide a total of 12,000 square metres storage capacity and will be completed in time for the anticipated record cotton crop in 1999.
    "The fact that Fisherman Islands has been purpose built as an intermodal port complex gives us the advantage of having land immediately available directly adjacent to the wharf," Port of Brisbane Corporation chief executive officer Graham Mulligan said.
