Paul Zalai, director of the Freight & Trade Alliance, said the industry could be "heading for deja vu on the waterfront."
He explained: "Last year, Australia's ports were subjected to poor weather conditions, infrastructure upgrades and union disputes, all of which threw shipping schedules out of the window and led to a surge of extra surcharges and rate increases with minimal notice, if any.
