NEWCASTLE COAL QUEUES COULD BE HISTORY - THE HERALD
 NEWCASTLE'S infamous coal queues could be a thing of the past if a plan to have the ships anchor over the horizon succeeds against the doubts of its critics. Announced in December 2008 and criticised by the coal and shipping industries ever since, the Newcastle Port Corporation vessel arrival system is due to come into force on July 1.
From then on, coal ships will be penalised with a loss of their turn in the queue or be denied entry to the port if they anchor off Newcastle more than two days before they are due to load coal.
Instead of anchoring, as they do now, for a fortnight or more at a time, coal ships on their way south from Japan and other Asian ports will be asked to wait at one or both of two designated drifting areas.
The first is just north of the equator, a few hundred nautical miles north of New Guinea and the other about 120 nautical miles off the NSW coast between Old Bar and Newcastle.
Shipping Australia chief executive Lew Russell said he understood why the port corporation wanted the system but he feared it was destined for the courts.
"This was thought up after the Pasha Bulker storm and they decided the Newcastle anchorage was unsafe," Mr Russell said.
"But now instead of being anchored you've got ships drifting out in the open ocean. I will say the corporation has done a lot of consultation on it and they are well aware of everyone's concerns.
"I hope it works but I think it will end up in court and they'll have egg on their face because they are trying to direct ships to sit north of New Guinea when their jurisdiction ends a few miles outside the port."
The port corporation was unable to comment on the plan yesterday but information sent this week to coal shippers confirms "concern was raised as to the safety of vessels while drifting".
Voluntary trials began earlier this year and the compulsory start was delayed from May 1 to June 1.
"As phase three is introduced vessels will no longer be allowed to anchor until 48 hours prior to their estimated loading time," the corporation said.
The corporation has "suggested drifting areas that are outside shipping lanes" but it warns that shipping masters are responsible for the safety of their vessels.
While high demurrage (or late-loading charges) were also cited as a reason for the vessel arrival system, the corporation concedes the system "does not change the total demurrage pie".
