In Waterline 16, the BTE commented on the Australian container transport system's ability to adapt to a significant reduction in capacity caused by the industrial dispute between Patrick and the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA). The BTE questioned the strength of the argument for further container terminal investment in Australia based on the grounds of capacity shortages.
