  • ACCC, MUA to 'discuss' Newcastle
    The Maritime Union of Australia has indicated it is prepared to meet with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to discuss recent developments in the port of Newcastle.
    The commission wrote to the MUA last week seeking a meeting to discuss the dispute that has affected the Eastern Basin Distribution Centre, to which the union has responded advising that its national secretary, John Coombs, is interstate and not due to return to Sydney until Thursday.
    The fact that the vessel at the centre of this dispute, the Kapitan Betkhar, has been moved and is no longer being held up has taken some pressure off the need for a meeting to discuss the situation.
  • Anderson closes speeding loophole
    Operators of heavy vehicles registered under the Federal Interstate Registration Scheme can no longer rely on a 'loophole' in the law which allowed them to avoid the 'three-strikes-and-your-out' speeding regulations in Victoria, NSW and Queensland.
    Transport Minister John Anderson announced on Sunday that vehicles egistered under FIRS were now liable to have their registrations suspended if they were caught speeding at more than 15kmh above speed limits, more than three times in three years.
    He said the government wanted to rule out any possibility that operators of FIRS vehicles could break speeding laws in the knowledge the states and territories could not suspend their vehicle's registrations.
  • Doulos - sailing the sea of cross-cultural understanding
    The world's oldest active ocean-going ship, the Doulos, visited Fremantle this week on another leg of a goodwill mission for the German non-profit charity organisation, Gute Bucher for Alle (GBA).
    GBA -- or Good Books for All -- bought the Doulos in the late 1970s to hold the world's largest floating book fair.
    The book fair is used as a tool for promoting cultural exchange with the vessel being staffed by a crew of 300 volunteers from 30 countries.
  • Lack of coordination "biggest hurdle": Telford
    There are too may ports in Australia, says divisional director of Toll Transport, Don Telford.
    Speaking on Survival Of Regional Ports In Australia at this week's Beyond The Waterfront Reforms conference in Melbourne, he said that to his reckoning there were 57 regional ports.
    He said these ports lacked supporting infrastructure with poor land facilities and rail and road connections, combined with no intermodal strategy.
    This meant low facility utilisation and no economies of scale because the ports were unable to justify modern cargo handling equipment and this led to inefficient cargo handling.
  • Ansett rejects freight sale story
    Ansett Australia yesterday described as "speculative" media reports that its door-to-door retail freight business has been sold to the Dutch-owned TNT Australia.
    In a statement, Ansett said the sale process for the loss-making door-to-door business was continuing. "No sale has been finalised," Ansett said. "Negotiations regarding the sale are continuing."
    The airline's statement came after an article in yesterday's Sydney Morning Herald and The Age which said TNT Australia had outbid Mayne Nickless for the operations. The article, quoting an industry source, said TNT was always seen as the frontrunner.
    It said Ansett paid out some redundancy packages to Ansett air freight staff last week and that part of the sale deal was a condition that the freight was still carried on Ansett aircraft.
