Marine Jobs’ Post

In a presentation to Auckland Council’s Transport and Infrastructure Committee this morning, we announced we have narrowed our focus on a critical public transport route from Auckland Airport to East Auckland’s Botany Town Centre. This announcement follows further research we conducted in collaboration with transport planning and engineering specialists Abley, which shows aerial cable car could outperform the proposed Busway for the Auckland Airport to Botany route on punctuality, frequency, and reliability. There is a sizeable opportunity for aerial cable cars to address key transport challenges and provide urban development opportunities along the Auckland Airport to Botany route, reducing congestion and pressure on the existing transport network. Aerial cable car would have a significantly lower capital cost, a much lower operating cost, and a Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) double that of Busway. We request that the Government redefines the Airport to Botany route as a ‘rapid transit link’ rather than Bus Rapid Transit, to allow innovative modes such as aerial cable car to be considered in future transport planning.

How to solve the biggest logistical challenges? In one of Botany Bay Business Park’s polls, you decided that ‘to be edited according to the poll results’ is the key logistical challenge. But it can be helped. Swipe right to see how ➡️ #UKLogistics #Logistics #BusinessChallenge #Lancashire

COSCO, OOCL upgrade Trans-Tasman service November 19, 2024 THE Trans-Tasman service operated by COSCO Shipping Lines and OOCL, known respectively as ANE and ANS, is being upgraded to weekly frequency, effective next month, according to Australia's Daily Cargo News. The 1,841 TEU ESL Winner, transferred from COSCO's CAP service, joins ANE in Melbourne this week while the 1,023-TEU newbuilding Pride C arrives on December 1. The ANE service was launched by COSCO in May 2023 on a fortnightly rotation of Auckland, Melbourne, Bell Bay, Port Botany using the 1,118 TEU-Contship Yen, with Tauranga added when the OOCL-supplied, 990 TEU Contship Quo was added. However, thanks to weather and congestion the two had trouble maintaining fortnightly frequency, which drifted out to around 17 days, and in October this year the end-of-charter Contship Quo was handed back to owners and quickly on-sold. This briefly left only Contship Yen to maintain the service. The upgraded service will rotate Melbourne (Thursday), Bell Bay (Sunday), Port Botany (Wednesday), Auckland (Tuesday), Tauranga (Thursday) and returning Melbourne (Thursday). The additional Bell Bay calls will put competitive pressure on the only other international service calling Tasmania, MSC's Noumea Shuttle. For both carriers the principal role of the Bell Bay call is to feed cargo to/from their mainline services. Although there is industry speculation ZIM/GSL might join ANE/ANS as a slot-charterer when their current short-term deal with ANL on the TranzTas and ANZ Shuttle loops expires, a OOCL spokesman told DCN "there is no known slot charter arrangement with another carrier being considered". Shipper sources said the additional capacity was "hardly needed" on the Tasman and was certain to lead to "rates tumbling again". However, the transit times on key legs, Sydney/Auckland and Tauranga/Melbourne "are appealing".

Exciting News... Bayleys has acquired the team from Harcourts Botany. This is a strategic move to strengthen our presence in the Southeast Auckland corridor.

🚢📊 Transport Global Practice: The Container Port Performance Index 2023 The latest report from the The World Bank: The Container Port Performance Index 2023: A Comparable Assessment of Performance Based on Vessel Time in Port, has just been released. It provides an in-depth analysis of port performance worldwide. From an Australian perspective, the findings are quite sobering. Out of a total list of 405 ports, here’s how our major ports rank: ● Melbourne: 311th ● Port Botany: 324th ● Brisbane: 337th ● Adelaide: 352nd ● Fremantle: 374th These rankings highlight significant opportunities for improvement in efficiency and operations within our ports. As we look towards enhancing our global competitiveness, it’s crucial to address these challenges and work towards better performance. For those interested in the full report, you can access it here: https://lnkd.in/gxKAtbgw #Logistics #Transport #WorldBank #Australia #PortPerformance #GlobalTrade #Efficiency #MaritimeIndustry

The latest rankings sees all main Australian container ports slip in the 2023 rankings when compared to 2022: 2022 * Melbourne - 273rd * Port Botany - 299th * Brisbane - 287th * Adelaide - 277th * Fremantle - 310th 2023 & YoY Change * Melbourne - 311th -38 * Port Botany - 324th -25 * Brisbane - 337th -50 * Adelaide - 352nd -75 * Fremantle - 374th -64 It would be interesting to understand the impact protected industrial action at DP World terminals has had on the overall result given it severely impacted the industry for most of Q4 2023 through to Feb 2024. While most can assume the only way is up for 2024, with enterprise agreements at VICT, Hutchison, FACT, and Patrick all due to expire in 2025, there could be turbulent times ahead.
