Contract and cranes for Patrick as customers criticise
Asciano has revealed a contract extension for stevedore Patrick with the world’s second-largest shipping line and confirmed crane investments a week after container-line representative body Shipping Australia took a heavy swipe at Port Botany productivity.
Patrick has secured a five-year Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) extension starting January 20, with MSC having the right of early termination at the end of year three. “The successful completion of another agreement with our long term customer, MSC, will see our Patrick operations handle approximately 550,000 containers nationally for MSC in the first year of the agreement,” Asciano CEO John Mullen says.

But Savvy’s principal, Rod Russell, says shifting firms with more than a couple of trucks has been an almost fruitless task.
