Recently released, the report centers on the reduction of brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) infestations and how companies can better prepare to import and export goods during the BMSB season. Kenter International Logistics note in their report that the Department of Agriculture and Water resources (DAWR) have now include an additional page to their shipping guidelines in relation to the BMSB, published on the DAWR website.
New guidelines include the mandatory treatment of all break bulk, and open top or flat rack containers for BMSB, especially those from high risk locations. Whereas, some containers receive treatment on arrival in Australia. As per the report, treatment for BMSB is now only with Methyl Bromide, Sulfuryl Fluoride and Heat Treatment, which are the only approved methods. Also, some countries have received approval to treat offshore using specified providers passed under the Australian scheme. Further approvals are also likely.
Countries most at risk of BMSB contamination are those from the USA, Italy, Germany, France, Russia, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Georgia and Japan. Currently Japanese Government Environmental Agencies have refused the requirements so Used Machinery generally cannot ship from this region during the BMSB Season. All vessels from these countries are subject to vessel surveillance to ensure BMSB containment. Further information about the BMSB containment and treatment measures are found on the the Australian Government BMSB webpage.
