The news this week ended with the launch of industrial action at Darwin Port. A dispute brewing over the past month led to work stoppages and a series of indefinite work bans as unions negotiate a new enterprise bargaining agreement with port management.
The latest episode of The DCN Weekly also covers the Australian Transport Safety Bureau’s investigation into a bulker grounding off Port Hedland, and a noisy containership that has left a trail of noise complaints across Australian and New Zealand ports.
We also unpack a speech from the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry to the National Press Club about port productivity.
The DCN Weekly is a new podcast from Daily Cargo News providing a regular roundup of the biggest stories in Australian shipping and maritime logistics.
New episodes are published to our website at the end of each week and included in each Monday’s newswire.
Thanks for listening.
