The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has issued a draft determination, proposing to grant authorisation* to applications from Newcastle Port Corporation and Donaldson Coal Pty Limited for a capacity balancing system at the Port of Newcastle.
NPC and Donaldson lodged separate applications for authorisation in early December 2007 for a system designed to address the imbalance between the demand for coal loading services at the Port of Newcastle and the capacity of the Hunter Valley coal chain in 2008. The industry is concerned that without a system for the allocation of capacity, the queue of ships waiting to be loaded will increase giving rise to significant costs.
