INDUSTRIAL disputes are contributing to container terminal congestion, but the situation is far from being as bleak as the Australian waterfront pre-1998, stevedoring executives have agreed.

Andrew Adam (DPWA chief operations officer), Michael Jovicic (Patrick Terminals chief executive) and John Willy (Hutchison Ports Australia chief executive) spoke at an online session on industrial relations organised by the Freight and Trade Alliance and Container Transport Alliance Australia.

FTA director Paul Zalai managed the event.
