Business by Gerard Cockburn A major Tasmanian salmon producer says the recent trade tensions with China has prompted the company to shift its exports to other economies. In an update to the Australian Stock Exchange on Tuesday, Huon Aquaculture said it was minimising its sales to the Chinese market amid the souring relationship between the two countries. Chinese authorities have slapped Australian producers with crippling import tariffs across several industries, including wine, agriculture and mining. The feud has predominantly been caused by Australia s leading role in calling for a global investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. Huon Aquaculture said it would diversify into other markets such as the US; however, less demand for salmon during COVID-19 is expected to drive down the average price by 15 per cent.

Millions of dollars’ worth of salmon were allegedly stolen from a processing plant operated by Huon Aquaculture in Sydney, Australia.
According to reports, police have charged five people in the alleged theft of 250 metric tons of salmon reportedly amounting to AUD 4 million (USD 3.09 million, EUR 2.55 million)
In a statement on 18 January, the company said it identified discrepancies in stock records at its Ingleburn processing plant starting in December 2020, with an estimated inventory value of AUD 2.1 million (USD 1.6 million, EUR 1.3 million).
“The matter, identified under Huon’s existing compliance and risk management systems and processes, revealed the possibility of coordinated criminal conduct by employees at the plant,” the statement said.
Tassie s Margate Marina redevelopment sails ahead 21 December 2020
Situated on the gateway to the famous cruising mecca of the D’Entrecasteaux channel, the redevelopment of Margate Marina, just south of Hobart presses ahead. This substantial project represents one of Tasmania’s biggest recreational boating investments. Late last year saw the completion of the first 130 floating pontoon berths (from 10m to 40m), the specially engineered 300m breakwater/wave attenuator and a floating fuel pontoon birth.

This service will be free of charge to all recreational vessels and will be a “self-serve” operation. Boat owners must ring the Marina Office on their approach…(03) 6267 9600.
