THE BIGGEST story this week was the release of the Productivity Commission’s final report on Australia’s maritime logistics system.
The report, some 500 pages long, fuelled conversations on terminal access charges, industrial relations and landside efficiency, among many other topics.
According to the report, inefficiencies at Australia’s major container ports cost the economy abut 600 million dollars each year.
But report maintains that higher productivity at Australia’s container ports is achievable and would deliver significant benefits.
The DCN Weekly is a 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.
