Pat Riley, the Business Agent for the International Longshoremen’s Association, says he’s spotted a flaw in the Port Authorities plan to widen cruise ship berths. Riley says you can’t put all your eggs in one basket and it’s important to have a port with both cargo and cruise potential.
Riley says when you’ve only got so much money, you’ve got to be careful where you spend it and there are things like the potash industry which have priority because it’s responsible for 60 per cent of the port’s operating revenue.
