The Civil War had allowed the River Wear to emerge as a competitor of the Tyne for coal exports. By 1660 the Tyne coal trade had recovered but was now only a third greater than the Wearside production. At this time the Newcastle Hostmen clashed with the Sunderland coal traders by claiming their charter rights and imposing a shilling tax on all coals exported from Sunderland. The Newcastle monopoly continued until between 1700 and 1750 the coal production increased to such an extent that non-Hostmen businessmen were drawn in. This seriously weakened the strength of the Hostmen and they would never again have such a stranglehold on the north-east coal trade. [4] List of governors of the Society of Hostmen [ edit ]

He argued NSW Ports, which is owned by AustralianSuper and IFM, could have an “effective monopoly” for moving containers in the state for 50 years after the Federal Court dismissed proceedings brought by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.

In 1553, during the reign of Edward VI, John Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland sponsored an act allowing Newcastle to annexe Gateshead and its surrounding area from the bishopric of Durham. This would have allowed the Newcastle burgesses to mine for coal on Gateshead land. The plan was foiled by the death of Edward and the downfall of Dudley. The Newcastle burgesses made a similar attempt in 1576 during the reign of Elizabeth I but were opposed by the queen's privy council.

The big advantage that rail transport provided was reliability. Railways were more expensive but supplies could be guaranteed.

The key factor was price, that is the lower the price of the coal in London, the more likely it was to sell. The company was being formed " . . . to carry coals by steam colliers constructed to take large cargoes with light draught of water which will make their passages regularly throughout the yearensuring a supply at moderate prices." Many of these steam tugs were built on the Tyne and a thriving marine engineering business grew up to support this new industry. At the time of the launch the Lort Burn was tidal and navigable for some way towards what is now Grey Street. In 1786 all British ships were required by law to register at a Customs port. This was the begining of accurate records regarding place of build, dimensions and ownership of all seagoing vessels.In fact, the earliest recorded launch was in 1294 when a galley was launched into the Lort Burn for King Edward I. The introduction of steam tugs on the Tyne, from 1815 onwards was to be of immense value to the sailing ship owners. The ACCC had argued that the deeds had an anti-competitive purpose and effect but its claims were dismissed by the Federal Court.
