'Sensible' start to P&O, MUA talks PROGRESS on waterfront reform at P&O facilities is possible after yesterday's talks between P&O Australia Ltd and the Maritime Union of Australia. The talks were held at the highest level between the chairman of the company, Richard Hein and the union's national secretary, John Coombs. Mr Hein said that the discussions were "sensible." While Mr Hein declined to elaborate, Mr Coombs said that progress has been made and another meeting was likely this week. Mr Coombs said P&O might now give consideration to dropping its legal action against the union, action which until now had prevented any meaningful progress on waterfront reform discussions. Quick contract coup for Patrick JUST ten days after halving its workforce and introducing radical changes to work practices, Patrick has reaped an early reward for its investment in reform by securing a prime South-East Asian consortium stevedoring contract. The Triple A group of Malaysia International Shipping Corp, Mitsui OSK, Orient Overseas Container Line and Pacific International Line will move both strings of its SEA service from P&O Ports to Patrick in Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle, effective from early next month. In an announcement to the Australian Stock Exchange late on Wednesday Patrick parent Lang Corp said the two-year contract would increase company revenues by $30 million. Labor launches maritime policy A LABOR government would "renew its approach of constructive engagement in the maritime industry", shadow minister for transport Lindsay Tanner said yesterday. Launching the Opposition's maritime industry policy, Mr Tanner said that following a period of "bitter confrontation created by the Howard government", the ALP would move to ensure that all the relevant parties -- the unions, stevedoring and shipping companies and port authorities and users -- were involved in the reform process. Oil spill culprits still at large THE Australian Maritime Safety Authority is still looking for the vessels which caused two oil spills off the Queensland coast last month -- one in the Whitsunday's 900km north Proserpine and the other south of Cairns near the Frankland Islands. The Queensland Department of Transport has called in AMSA to assist with the search. The Ship Reporting System, mandatory for all vessels using the inner navigation route of the Great Barrier Reef, was used to determine which vessels had been in the north Queensland areas and since that time AMSA has been taking samples from possible suspect vessels.
