AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of his question. On behalf of the Minister for Ports, I provide the
following answer.
(1) The expected number of shipping
containers is 793 000 twenty-foot equivalent units.
(2) No. We
believe the increased rail subsidy that has taken the number of TEUs on rail up
to 18 per cent will help manage the road transport load.
