Australia: Two bidders left for major shipping terminal

By  |  February 3, 2014

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is reportedly set to officially allow Norway-based Wallenius Wilhlmsen bid for a long-term contract to operate major shipping terminal in Melbourne, reports say.

The Norwegian company would be one of two competitors left in the bidding process for the contract, which would allow the company to operate Australia’s largest vehicle terminal in the city for the next 26 years.

Also bidding is Australia’s Amalgamated Terminals.

According to reports, the ACCC is set to clear Wallenius Wilhelmsen for bidding despite the fact the company is facing fines of $33 million for allegations of price-fixing operations in Japan.
