The ACCC has determined not to exempt the services provided by South Australian grain handler Viterra at its Port Lincoln and Thevenard facilities from parts of the Port Terminal Access (Bulk Wheat) Code.
The ACCC has today released final determinations exempting the services provided by grain handler Viterra at its Port Adelaide Inner Harbour and Outer Harbor facilities from parts of the Port Terminal Access (Bulk Wheat) Code. The ACCC also determined not to exempt Viterra’s services at its Wallaroo and Port Giles facilities.
The ACCC’s monitoring report of bulk wheat ports for the 2019-20 shipping year has found grain growers and exporters raised few concerns about port terminal access, due to low Australian grain production as a result of extended drought conditions.
The ACCC has today released draft determinations proposing to exempt the services provided by grain handler Viterra at its Port Adelaide Inner Harbour and Outer Harbor facilities from parts of the Port Terminal Access (Bulk Wheat) Code.
Viterra applied to be exempt from parts 3 to 6 of the code at all six of its South Australian port terminals; however, the ACCC’s draft determinations do not propose to exempt the company’s Port Lincoln, Wallaroo, Port Giles, and Thevenard facilities.
