TRUCKERS' WAITING TIMES * Australia - Roozendaal told to deliver deadline on paid waiting times
Under paid waiting times, stevedores will need to compensate trucking operators
Sidney,NSW,Australia -Supply Chain Review, by Brad Gardner -November 18, 2010: -- The NSW Government has been urged to name a date for the introduction of paid waiting times at Port Botany after delaying the scheme until next year... Ports Minister, Eric Roozendaal, this week told the trucking industry it needed to wait until early in 2011 to be compensated for time spent queuing, which has at times stretched to five hours... Roozendaal will also come under a pressure to commit to building amenities and loading bays so drivers have places to rest while waiting to collect or deliver freight... Under paid waiting times, stevedores will need to compensate trucking operators $25 for every 15 minute delay, $100 if a slot is cancelled within two hours of the agreed access time or $50 if the slot is cancelled outside the two-hour timeframe... Trucking operators will pay $50 for a late arrival and $100 if their trucks do not show up... Sydney Ports Corporation says PBLIS will be introduced progressively from December this year through to early 2011... The trucking industry has long complained of delays at Port Botany, which have jeopardised delivery schedules and left operators exposed to fatigue management breaches...
