  • Unions flag Newcastle tug strife
    As many as seven tug crews totalling 28 people are likely to lose their jobs as a result of the Adsteam takeover of Hunter Towage Services Pty Ltd.
    The takeover, which will rationalise towage services in the port of Newcastle, is awaiting the approval of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
    Maritime unions are due to discuss the implications of the takeover with Hunter Towage Services Pty Ltd this week, although one of the unions has already indicated that a potential for conflict exists.

  • Darwin dropped in SIA revamp
    Australia's second largest international air carrier, Singapore Airlines, has blamed disappointing operating results on the Darwin-Singapore route for its decision to scrap operations to Darwin by the end of March.
    The airline's move to stop the weekly A310 service to Darwin, which is a shared service with Cairns, is part of a shake-up of its capacity and aircraft servicing Australian ports. Most services will remain unchanged when SIA's northern summer schedule comes into effect at the end of March, although capacity to Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne will be increased through a combination of additional services and larger aircraft.
    SIA said the decision to terminate the loss-making Darwin service after 11 years had been taken with regret, but said the service had not operated up to expectations. The airline has been forced to review its loss-making routes in light of the Asian economic crisis.
