Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Australia’s Newcastle port, the world’s biggest coal-export harbor, will test a new system to coordinate the arrivals of ships to help cut waiting times, reduce costs and improve safety.
The trial of the vessel arrival system, to start early next year, should help avoid accidents such as the grounding of the Pasha Bulker coal carrier on a beach near Newcastle harbor in June last year, New South Wales Ports and Waterways Minister Joe Tripodi said today in an e-mailed statement.
