Harbour Boards Discuss Likely Ending of Handling Equipment Pool
Gladstone notes the Commonwealth Handling Equipment Pool likely to be disbanded after lengthy debate at the Queensland Harbour Boards Association annual conference. The Gladstone board warns it holds over £100,000 of equipment and coal shipments rose from 1000 to 2300 tons daily, with fears over delays if parts are denied. The conference voted to seek ministerial guidance on any disposal plan and the continued use of equipment seen as vital to Queensland ports. The Cairns harbour proposal drew no favour. The meeting elected officers, with Tomlin re-elected secretary, and next conference set for Mackay in September.
