  • Port capacity increases, thanks to reforms
    A MAJOR outcome of the waterfront reform process, so far, has been a big jump in capacity of Australian ports according to the chairman of Patrick, Chris Corrigan.
    Speaking at the 10th Ports, Shipping & Waterfront Reform conference in Sydney yesterday, Mr Corrigan said that with people work faster and smarter, portainer crane usage has dropped sharply.
    In December, for example, Patrick cranes were in use just 40 per cent of the time compared to more than 55 per cent of the time in December 1997.
    The drop in usage, he said, is a direct result of increased productivity improvements gained through the new more flexible enterprise agreements.
    "With the market predicted to grow by around seven per cent annually, we are a very long way from needing more port infrastructure," Mr Corrigan asserted.
  • All must benefit from reform
    ALL participants in the through-transport chain need to benefit from waterfront reform
    according to the chief executive officer of Liner Shipping Services Ltd, Llew Russell.
    Speaking at the 10th Ports, Shipping & Waterfront Reform conference in Sydney yesterday.
    Mr Russell told delegates that ship operators will be seeking to negotiate hard to achieve those benefits which for them do result from reduced turnaround times, improved flexibility in scheduling.
    He said that they will also be seeking to negotiate an improved package of stevedoring services.
    "This does not mean that they do not also have their eyes fixed firmly on cost reductions, if at all possible," Mr Russell said.
  • Union power no "magic pudding"
    WHILST the curbing of the Maritime Union of Australia's monopoly over the provision of labor is a necessary part of waterfront reform, it does not provide a "magic-pudding" solution to all the problems of Australia's high cost ports.
    This is the opinion of Associate Professor Keith Trace from the Department of Economics at Monash University who yesterday provided the 10th Ports, Shipping & Waterfront Reform conference in Sydney with an academics viewpoint of the Patrick/MUA agreement.
    Professor Trace said that having taken this long overdue step to curb monopoly power in the labor market, Australia should vigorously pursue a reform agenda designed to enhance contestability within and between ports.
    "Success in improving the reliability and cost effectiveness of our ports in turn creates the possibility of further innovation in container shipping, including that of employing larger vessels and the possible emergence of one or more hub ports in Australia," he said.
