Dear Editor – The delays at SIPA are causing produce exporters additional costs in having their goods re-certified for export and on occasions they have to go through the quarantine process again because there is a maximum time the containers can stay on the port before being loaded on the ship.
One of the Asian supervisors had trouble working out the volume of goods when he was given the 3 dimensions of the cargo.
Why is there only one container lifter available? Something to do with spares from Singapore only not Australia and no OT for the staff.
