Rio Tinto Marine is flogging the Queensland 'permit' system known as Restricted Use Flags or RUFs. This is similar to a Single Voyage Permit (SVP) however the RUFs apply only to intra-state voyages like the Weipa to Gladstone bauxite trade. Under the RUF system foreign flag vessels can carry cargoes between two Queensland ports without Australian crews and without complying with Australian laws and Rio are flogging the RUF system for all it's worth. Click on 'News, Reports & Publications' - 'Rio Tinto and the Qld bauxite trade' in the left column to download letters and information about this issue.
