ATN - Cash for mental health, container haulage safety and rural industry programs amongst othersFTA director Travis Brooks-Garrett adds that the funding will allow the grouping to collaborate with all parties in the container logistics chain to develop guidance materials, on-line training initiatives, and face-to-face forums to promote best practice in shipping container packing, cargo load restraint and weight distribution. "These guidance materials and initiatives will assist importers to engage with their suppliers and packers overseas, and for exporters to review their packing and transport practices, to improve safety compliance." Travis Brooks-Garrett says. "This is a first for Australia, and is likely to receive international recognition given the international push for greater adoption of global safety standards such as IMO/ILO/UNECE Code of Practice for Packing Cargo Units [CTU Code], which dove-tails well with the container packing guidance contained in the Australian Load Restraint Guide." The project will be developed over this financial year, with materials being promoted nationally in the first half of 2020. "We are aiming for broad national reach, and the development of on-line materials and training & awareness building outcomes that are enduring." Travis Brooks-Garrett says. ... read more |

| CRT NEWS - Cargo loading gets safety boost as truck trips forecast to reach $7M
Funding under the National Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative program addressing unsafe loading and cargo restraint inside international shipping containers has been welcomed by key freight associations.
Members of the Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA), the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) and Container Transport Alliance of Australia (CTAA) have supported the Government's decision to raise awareness and knowledge concerning best practice for packing and load restraint of shipping container cargo including cargo destined for export from Australia and cargo arriving as overseas import. "Cargo inside shipping containers that is inappropriately packed, poorly restrained and unevenly weight distributed can cause serious heavy vehicle road safety issues," said CTAA Director Neil Chambers in a prepared statement. "This includes the heightened risk of truck rollovers, load shifts contributing to road accidents, and heavy vehicle axle mass breaches," he said. "Additionally, these issues can have a big impact on the safety of workers engaged in loading or unloading shipping containers." ... read more

FINANCE REPORT
 Weekly Market CommentaryTensions in the Middle East are reaching boiling point, with the Iranians seizure of British Oil Tanker and the US destroying an Iranian drone. The piracy of the British tanker has sent the region into crises, which will impact markets, especially Oil prices and comes at a difficult Political time in the UK. The British are in a transitionary leadership phase, with current PM May only in office until next week, when the likely ascension of Boris Johnson. This leaves the British in a tenuous position, which may well impact their response to the crises. ... read moreDaily Market CommentaryThe US Biege Book was released overnight and confirmed modest growth and a continued tight labour market, but cited concerns about the negative impact on growth of the US/China trade impasse.
