  • VRTA worries over dock bypass
    The Victorian Road Transport Association has raised concerns about the $52 million north-south bypass proposed for the Docklands precinct in Melbourne, saying the road works could cause massive disruption to freight traffic movements in the nearby port and rail areas.
    The VRTA, which will meet with Victorian Roads and Ports Minister Geoff Craige next week to discuss the plan, has urged the government to undertake adequate planning of the project to ensure minimal disruption to traffic during the road's construction.
    VRTA executive director Phil Lovel said the VRTA would lobby the government to ensure that the existing road infrastructure in the proposed development area -- particularly Footscray Road -- remained fully open until the bypass was completed and fully functional.
  • Govt rejects fund shortfall claims
    Media speculation that the $250 million allocated by the federal government to cover the cost of waterside worker redundancies could fall short of the total amount claimed by Australia's stevedoring companies, was rejected yesterday by a spokesman for Transport Minister John Anderson.
    According to a wire service report, statements made by the first assistant secretary of the Department of Transport, Greg Feeney, to an estimates committee hearing here on Monday indicated that the redundancy fund had been "rushed by applications from 12 companies" and this threatened to "overload" the fund following a $102 million payout to Patrick Stevedores.
  • P&OP focuses on attitude
    P&O Ports Ltd will expand at the rate of two new sites a year over the next five years and is now poised to enter the North American market, according to its director for Australia and New Zealand Andrew Burgess.
    Mr Burgess spoke yesterday at the Ports, Shipping and Waterfront Reform conference, organised by AIC in Sydney.
    While concentrating on the company's international achievements, Mr Burgess made frequent, negative, comments about the productivity of the Australian waterfront and, in particular, the absence of the proper attitude among the workforce.
  • Rail will be the key to future port development
    Waterfront reform will still be needed long beyond the time when terminal productivity issues have been resolved, according to Maunsell McIntyre's director of port and transport planning Graham Hooper.
    Speaking at the Beyond the Waterfront Reforms conference in Melbourne last week, he said waterfront reform in Australia had become synonymous with stevedoring productivity which focussed on container terminal productivity with performance expressed in terms of crane rates.
  • Inchcape sold to private investors
    Electra Fleming, the international private equity group, has acquired Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS).
    ISS, which claims to be the largest independent shipping agency network, last year itself acquired Australia's Patrick Sleigh Shipping Agencies. ISS provides ship support services for over 30,000 vessels and handles in excess of one and a half million containers each year.
