  • Progress reported in AIMPE talks
    The Australian Institute of Marine and Power Engineers is making slow but steady progress towards resolving its enterprise agreement differences with two of the country's major ship operators, ASP Ship Management and BHP Transport.

    The parties are expected to take some time to clear those differences with informal discussions continuing this week.
  • Mayne in port business push

  • Burnie pushes faster ferry route
    Proponents of a fast ferry service across Bass Strait have selected a Stony Point-Burnie route following consideration of 15 potential routes between Victoria and Tasmania.
    A spokesman for the Burnie City Council told DCN that according to feasibility studies undertaken by consultants, Thompson Clarke Shipping, the proposed two-return-crossings-a-day fast ferry service would be a much more efficient proposition than the Devil Cat service now operated between TT-Line.
    (The Tasmanian Government has said it will seriously reconsider TT-Line's peak season charter of Incat's fast ferries, following indications of a second year of substantial losses on the operation.)
