  • P&OP hits out at 'no-shows'
    P&O Ports has hit back at productivity claims relating to its Container Terminals Australia Ltd facility, alleging "a lack of commitment" from some of its critics.
    The director of Australian and New Zealand ports at P&O Ports, Andrew Burgess, yesterday provided DCN with figures that illustrated the high number of no-shows by truck operators at the terminal.
    No-shows are the number of vehicles that fail to present for a requested service.

    According to FreightCorp general manager Neil Matthews, import containers can now be quoted for delivery terminal-to-door from $280 a 20-footer, depending on the radius. Significantly, there is no demurrage charge.
    On the other hand, all-road carriage over the same distance would be more like $330 a 20-footer, plus demurrage, FreightCorp said.

  • Berth availability hits new low
    THE June quarter 1998 figure of 68 per cent for berth availability at Australia's major ports was the lowest since this indicator was first prepared by the Bureau of Transport Economic (BTE) in the March quarter 1997.
    The Waterline report, published by the Bureau this week, shows that previous lowest figure was 84 per cent, recorded in the December quarter 1997.
    According to the Bureau, the decline in berth availability in the June quarter 1998 reflects the impact of the dispute involving Patrick and the Maritime Union of Australia.
    "The data for the March and June quarters indicate that berth availability fell significantly at most ports," the Bureau said.

  • Cracks found in LNG tanks
    ONE OF THE WORLD S first LNG carriers must be scrapped after cracking was discovered in its tanks. The 22-year-old Mystic Lady (above) was built to the revolutionary MOSS design, the most popular system used by the world s LNG operators, but the cracks have cut at least 15 years off the ship s trading life. This could worry other LNG operators but Kvaerner, which designed the system, is revealing details of the problem to try to reassure others. It says the problem should not spread because of a particular material used in the Mystic Lady.
