  • MUA rebels accuse P&OP
    The central New South Wales branch of the Maritime Union of Australia yesterday accused stevedore P&O Ports of seeking "extraordinary changes" in its new enterprise agreements.
    The deputy branch secretary, Jim Donovan, told DCN yesterday that even Patrick did not go as far in its proposals.
    As an example, Mr Donovan claimed P&OP wanted to almost completely casualise the handling of vehicles at Glebe Island and the operation of the Sydney Cove Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay.
  • Fuel fingered as Temburong cause
    Contaminated fuel is now suspected to have caused the problems which hit the livestock carrier Temburong last month.
    Graham Lacey, general manager of Darwin-based livestock shipping agency, Rooney Shipping Transport, yesterday dismissed initial speculation that a lightning strike had caused the power failure aboard the Singapore-flagged vessel leading to the deaths of around 800 cattle three weeks ago while en route to Amamapare, Irian Jaya, with 1011 cattle on board.
    He said that it was now understood that the Temburong's engines and three generators had shut down due to a fuel problem.
  • Townsville sees profits take downward path
    The port of Townsville made an after tax profit of $2.6 million in 1997-98, down 16.5 per cent on the previous financial year, according to the TPA's annual report.
    The rate of return on assets was 2.04 per cent, falling short of the targeted 3.02 per cent.
    It was the port's 11th consecutive year of record trade with more than 7.7 million tonnes across the wharves, up 2.3 per cent on the previous year. Total exports exceeded three million tonnes for the first time and individual trade records were set for bulk oil, fertiliser and sulphuric acid imports and sugar, lead concentrates and copper concentrates exports.
  • Cattle exporters will obey, under protest
    One of the firms in the eye of the storm over the on-board care afforded cattle and sheep in Australia's livestock export trade, Wellards Rural Exports, will comply with departmental restrictions on its shipments, but under protest.
    Federal Agriculture Minister Mark Vaile announced late on Friday that his departmental secretary, Ken Matthews, had imposed the restrictions. This followed consideration of a departmental report on the deaths of 570 of around 1200 cattle shipped in mid-1998 from Bunbury to Jordan aboard the Philippines-flagged vessel, Charolais Express.
