  • Crucial period for wharf settlement
    The next 24 to 48 hours will be crucial to the future enterprise agreement negotiations now in progress between Patrick and the Maritime Union of Australia.
    Industry sources told DCN yesterday that informal discussions were progressing and these may turn into formal talks within a matter of hours.
    In any case, both parties are reported to be aware that the next 24 to 48 hours are crucial to the resolution of their differences which were yesterday still said to number eight.
    Of those eight, four were not regarded as being "genuine".
    If no agreement is forthcoming, it is expected that the stevedore will press for the involvement of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission which could then conciliate and arbitrate the matter.
  • Kiwis grab another Aust forwarder
    Transport giant Brambles Industries Ltd has sold off its Australian international freight forwarding division to New Zealand transport group Tranz Rail Holdings Limited for an undisclosed sum.
    Brambles' head office did not want to comment on the sale yesterday, but Tranz Rail revealed on Friday it had bought Brambles International Cargo, the freight forwarding operation of Brambles Australia Limited.
    It is believed that BIC staff and customers were informed of the sale on Friday.
    The acquisition of BIC bolsters Tranz Rail's modest presence in the Australian transport market and represents its first venture into the global freight forwarding arena. Tranz Rail's only other Australian venture is its 27 per cent equity interest in Australian Transport Network Ltd, which operates Tasmanian rail freight operation, Tasrail.
    Bramble's sale of BIC -- part of the company's plans to divest activities in Australia which do not fit its long-term strategy -- follows the divestment of its domestic general transport and freight forwarding businesses two years ago to Toll Holdings Ltd for $25 million.

    It will be chaired by Transport director-general Dr Chris Whitaker, its deputy chairman will be John Langoulant of the treasury and its other members are Stephen Wood of the Department of Premier and Cabinet, Graeme Harman of the office of the Minister for Transport and Tim Sharp of the Crown Solicitors Office.
  • Shipping outlook bleak: ACOS
    The months ahead will be difficult for the shipping industry, according to Australian Chamber of Shipping (ACOS) chief executive John Jenkins.
    Writing in the ACOS annual review of shipping, Mr Jenkins said the trend towards major consortium operations on a global scale would continue in liner/container shipping, as being the only practical defence against a continued depressed market where all other cost savings had already been explored.
    He warned that benefits which the industry might earlier have had reason to believe would gradually emerge during the year would now take considerably longer to become evident.
