  1. customs Anonymous -- 20/10/05

    The article is incorrect. the new system has been online for months and has had significant problems. What is now stopping the containers being cleared, is that the old compile system has been turned off, forcing brokers to use the new problematic system.

  2. Fancy that.... Jiim -- 20/10/05

    A few seconds Google'n suggests the prime software supplier is a "Microsoft Certified Partner".

    ...and a $30 project is now costing the tax payer more than 200 bucks!

    1. Who installed this system? Anonymous -- 21/10/05

      I'd like to know which company installed this system so we can steer clear of them. Anybody care to say who it was?

  3. Doesn't make sense Abe -- 22/10/05

    The article says:
    "More than 2,000 containers are unloaded at the port daily, but it only has capacity for 20,000 at a time."

    Would the author or the editor care to explain?

    Shallow article. Shouldn't the journalist investigate what the cause is? How and why it happened? What are the specifics about the system. What OS? What application and who is the vendor? To say the least, it is Shoddy journalism.
