  • Receivers for NZS firms
    ONE OF New Zealand’s major stevedoring companies, the Stevedoring Services of America-owned New Zealand Stevedores, is thought to be considering a major re-organisation as a result of a combination of the stiff competition, high labor costs and the demise of the largest dedicated operator on the Tasman, South Pacific Shipping.
    According to well-placed sources, following the news last week that SPS had gone into voluntary liquidation, NZS put negotiations with its employees over a new wages and conditions package on hold.
  • Crew action halts SPS talks
    A MEETING aimed at resolving some of the confusion surrounding the collapse of South Pacific Shipping, had to be postponed yesterday afternoon after crew members aboard the company’s vessels refused to work or negotiate.
    They are apparently insisting that their back wages are paid.
    Parties involved in the liquidation of SPS were to meet, in particular, to resolve the future of cargo aboard the company’s eight vessels, five of which were engaged in trans-Tasman trade.
  • Industry looks for ‘signs’
    PATRICK and the Maritime Union of Australia will meet this morning in Sydney to discuss enterprise agreements for the company’s facilities throughout the country.
    The national secretary of the MUA, John Coombs, told DCN yesterday that the company had been acquainted with matters which the union intended to pursue at the meeting.
    This included Patrick’s plans for any further leasing arrangements of its facilities as well as the aggregate wage.
    While the union has initiated this bargaining period, industry sources have expressed concern that it might have been done in order to pursue industrial action at some of the company’s facilities outside Melbourne.
  • Power cuts hit Auckland boxes
    AUCKLAND’s power crisis has left the port company battling to maintain basic services - at the height of the export season.
    The crisis worsened after the fourth and final major power cable supplying the central district failed late last week. With no main power since last Friday, the port is now supplying all its own energy from 18 generators but has no lighting or air conditioning.
  • Patrick, MPC settle
    STEVEDORE Patrick and the Melbourne Port Corporation have settled long-running litigation, stemming from the failed attempt to introduce OOCL as a third container terminal operator in the port, without any compensation being paid.
    The settlement, which includes Patrick’s action against the Victorian Government and the Port of Melbourne Authority, was announced in a statement late on Friday. The statement said: "The parties have agreed that proceedings will be terminated and that each party will bear its own costs."
    "The resolution of the litigation clears to way for MPC and Patrick to commence discussions on a range of commercial matters between them, and the two parties intend to work constructively to enhance Melbourne’s position as a vibrant, efficient and prosperous port."
