  • 'Jury still out' on Patrick changes
    The Maritime Union of Australia will fully cooperate with Patrick in the implementation of its new industrial agreement, final words of which were being hammered out in Sydney yesterday.
    This was claimed yesterday by one of MUA's national organisers, Mick O'Leary, who spoke at a luncheon meeting of the New South Wales branch of the International Cargo Handling Coordination Association.
    Mr O'Leary, who stood in for the union's national secretary, John Coombs, said that while between 500 and 600 members of his union would be leaving Patrick, the stevedore's management would remain virtually unchanged.
  • Focus on 'culture of safety': SoS report
    Despite a marked improvement in the quality of vessels, particularly bulk carriers, visiting Australia over the past six years, the Parliamentary 'Ships of Shame' committee is still deeply concerned about the treatment of seafarers on some of those ships.
    Releasing the latest 'Ship Safe' report yesterday, the chairman of the Standing Committee on Communications, Transport and Microeconomic Reform, Paul Neville, said that while a culture of safety was developing within the industry, further major improvements were required.
  • Keep rail out of NRTC: Hicks
    National Road Transport Commission chairman Stuart Hicks yesterday rubbished commonwealth proposals to incorporate rail within the responsibilities of the commission.
    Addressing the Freight Transportation conference in Sydney yesterday, Mr Hicks said the creation of a National Land Transport Commission would hinder trucking reforms. He also argued that a parallel rail organisation to the NRTC would not work.
    The push for the creation of a regulatory body to manage the reform agenda for both road and rail sectors strengthened this month, with the commonwealth's rail inquiry recommending that the federal government establish a NLTC.
  • Three spills have Qld angry
    The old adage 'trouble comes in threes' has come home to roost in Queensland, which is now suffering from its third oil spill in a week.
    The new spill, discovered on Tuesday afternoon, south of Cairns near the Frankland Islands, is spread over an area of 300 metres by 50 metres. It appears that the oil had been in the water for several days and was already breaking up.
    Aerial surveillance of the spill showed it was made up of hundreds of tar balls varying in size from a 20 cent piece to one metre in diameter.
    Queensland Transport Minister Steve Bredhauer said bad weather in the area had hampered efforts to get oil response vessels to the area, and conditions had made it unsuitable for any response on Tuesday.
