In a stunning twist, the Government has proposed that it should scrap its expensive cabotage policy – the government of Chile that is. Chile’s Merchant Navy Law (Decree 3059/79) currently […]

The draft report of the Productivity Commission’s Australian Maritime Logistics System is long, so we will be analysing it today, and later publishing selected items in our newsletter and on our website.
From the ocean shipping industry’s viewpoint, the draft report is somewhat of a curate’s egg (mostly good, partly adverse), but, pleasingly, the vast majority of the draft report aligns with...
