Fresh Push For Container Terminal In Newcastle Despite Government Restriction

BY IAN CROUCH

Australia's largest stevedoring company is reportedly interested in setting up a container terminal in Newcastle.

The Herald reports DP World is in talks with the Port of Newcastle about the idea in a bid to break a monopoly on container freight held by Port Botany.

It's understood DP World is one of two parties interested in setting up a container terminal in Newcastle.

It comes as the A-Triple-C investigates a so-called secret fee imposed by the state government on container freight from Newcastle.
