		<description><![CDATA[The Maritime Union's comments on the effect on ports of decisions by Fonterra and shipping companies have featured widely in the news.

<a href="http://bit.ly/N7CXd">TVNZ reports</a> that "the Maritime Union of New Zealand is calling for national co-ordination of port strategy, arguing that Fonterra is exerting such power as a customer it is effectively rationalising the port industry."

The <a href="http://bit.ly/2A0zC8">Taranaki Daily News writes that</a>  "Zealand's waterfront workers and seafarers have savaged Fonterra's decision to drop Port Taranaki, warning it has the potential to 'rip the guts out' of the port" following a "a bombshell decision last week, the dairy giant said it would be railing Whareroa product to Auckland and Tauranga instead."]]></description>
