Status

On 4 October 2018 Riordan Grain Services provided a submission in support of exempt provider status for its operation at Port of Portland in Victoria.

On 30 January 2018 Riordan Grain Services submitted that it was moving its mobile ship loader from Lascelles Wharf Geelong to Corio Quay North Geelong.

The ACCC's final determination released on 28 July 2017 had granted exempt service provider status to Riordan Grain Services in relation to its port terminal facility at Berth 3, Lascelles Wharf, Port of Geelong.

Background

The Wheat Port Code of Conduct commenced on 30 September 2014.

The code:

  • regulates bulk wheat port terminal operators to ensure that exporters have fair and transparent access to terminal facilities
  • allows for regulation to be reduced at ports where appropriate.

The ACCC may exempt a port terminal service provider from certain provisions of the code in relation to a specific port terminal facility.
