  • Van Miert sur le point de conclure un accord avec les armements de ligne
    "Les dix dernières années ont été caractérisées par un nombre de conflits entre la Commission européenne et le secteur de la navigation de ligne, plus présicement en ce qui concerne la portée de l'exemption de groupe des conférences par rapport aux règles de concurrence (surtout au sujet de la tarification du transport terrestre). Nous avons quasiment conclu un accord avec les armements et espérons développer à court terme des initiatives positives qui mettront fin à cette longue confrontation."

  • P&OP takes stake in Newcastle project
    THE ambitious plan for a two-berth international container terminal and multi-modal transport hub in the port of Newcastle took a major step forward yesterday when P&O Ports joined BHP and Leighton Contractors in the $200 million project.
    In what was described as a "significant milestone", P&OP became a full partner at a heads of agreement signing on the site of the proposed development, the BHP Newcastle Steelworks, which is due to close next year.
    Director of Australian and New Zealand Ports, Andrew Burgess, said P&OP was delighted to be joining 'two of the most successful Australian companies in their own fields" and intended to lend its full support and expertise, while Leighton Contractors executive director Phil Cooper welcomed the company as a "new and valued member" of the consortium.
  • Sydney wharfies meet on P&OP plan
    Rank-and-file committees of members of the Maritime Union of Australia from Container Terminals Australia Ltd as well as Darling Harbour, will meet in Sydney today to consider a document on P&O Ports' plans for waterfront reform.
    The document was considered by the national council last week.
    The national secretary of the MUA, John Coombs, told DCN yesterday he preferred not to comment on the reception which the document received.
    Mr Coombs said the situation surrounding the issue remained extremely sensitive.
    A document on the P&O proposals was considered amid fears of growing opposition from some sections of the union, notably the central New South Wales branch.
  • NQEA to build Bris dredge
    A multi-million dollar contract for the construction of a new dredge for the Port of Brisbane Corporation has been awarded to NQEA Australia Engineers and Shipbuilders of Cairns.
    Queensland Premier Peter Beattie and Minister for Transport and Main Roads Steve Bredhauer announced the awarding of the $40 million contract which, they said, would create more than 300 jobs in Cairns.
    "This new high-tech dredger will replace the Sir Thomas Hiley, which has been in service in Queensland for more than 27 years," Mr Beattie said.
    He said NQEA beat stiff competition from a company in the United Kingdom and one of the major engineering companies in the Netherlands to win the contract.
  • Price flexibility behind quit decision
    Pricing flexibility is one of the reasons for Columbus Line's decision to quit the Australia to Europe Liner Association, according to the company's managing director in Australia, Achim Drescher.
    Mr Drescher told DCN yesterday that the conference focused more on direct carriers and Columbus Line served the trade by transhipment through Kingston, Jamaica, even though it used its own vessels across the Atlantic as well as the Pacific.
    As a result, the Columbus Line service to and from Europe, even though it did not suffer in schedule comparison, was never seen in as positive a light as the direct services, he said.
  • SA win for FreightCorp
    The rapidly expanding FreightCorp is set to spread its wings even further, with the NSW rail freight operator expected to be announced this week as the preferred tenderer for the lucrative Leigh Creek coal haulage task.
    FreightCorp did not wish to comment when contacted yesterday, but it is believed that senior FreightCorp staff were in Adelaide yesterday concluding negotiations for the contract with Flinders Energy (formerly Optima Energy), the power generation arm of the old ETSA.

  • Japanese Shippers Merge Operations
    Tokyo-based shipping firm Tokyo Senpaku Kaisha Ltd. agreed to tie up with Nippon Yusen KK on a joint operation of shipping routes and cargo booking in Asia. Tokyo Senpaku Kaisha, owned 39.23 percent by Nippon Yusen, mainly handles Indonesia-bound cargoes. Its business deteriorated as Asia-bound cargoes sharply decreased due to the Asian currency crisis and Indonesia's economic turmoil, a spokesman said.
  • Romanian Shipyard To Be Sold

Bids in sealed envelopes from local and foreign individual and corporate investors will be accepted up to January 18.
  •  Ship Officer Shortage To Cause Problems
    A growing shortage of ships officers poses a serious long-term manpower problem for the industry, a shipping employers organization said.

  • Vickers Pays $501.8M For Ulstein
    Vickers Plc is buying Norwegian marine engineer Ulstein Holding ASA for $501.8 million to make marine propulsion instead of armored vehicles its biggest single business. The British firm denied the move signaled an intention to get out of armored vehicles, but said it was a "unique opportunity" to make its marine propulsion business the global market leader, with combined sales of $825 million a year.

  • Federal Express and its pilots averted a holiday showdown when members of the FedEx Pilots Association agreed to delay any further job actions, including a strike, in exchange for a return to the bargaining table and a promise from the company that it would obtain no further outsourcing. As talks got under way, the pilots were hopeful of getting the company to put something close to what it had offered in its Oct. 30 proposal back on the table. The company maintains that because of the expenses incurred in setting up the contingency plans, the "generous offer" of Oct. 30 is off.
  • Phyllis Scheinberg is Congress' fiscal watchdog for the General Accounting Office's transportation division. She takes the job very seriously. Her specialty is dealing in "just the facts." Two reports coming out on her watch include a review of railroad market power that could influence railroad open access efforts and a probe of FHWA safety efforts following criticism by Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va.
  • Shippers absolutely, positively want to use Federal Express - or United Parcel Service or Roadway - even for their guaranteed LTL shipments. A new survey of regular LTL shippers shows that two major small-package giants are out-marketing the LTL trucking companies for shippers' time-definite services. The survey is no surprise to LTL executives, who say FedEx and UPS have spent a small fortune imbedding their services in the minds of Americans.
  • The Asian financial crisis is starting to hit the ocean box trades. Exports to Asia are falling through the floor and those watching the trades say it's going to be bad in all lanes for both imports and exports. There are some bright spots, though, such as Europe and Latin America. But even those trade lanes are going to be tight in the next year or two.
  • FedEx and its pilots were told by federal mediators to tone down the public rhetoric and focus on issues of negotiating a settlement. FedEx management and union negotiators from the FedEx Pilots Association have not met formally since talks broke down Oct. 30, although the National Mediation Board has had contact with both sides. Neither has shown any willingness to compromise since the union opted not to accept FedEx's contract proposal to a membership vote. Saying that proposal no longer is "economically feasible," FedEx management has withdrawn it from the table. A deal with the pilots looks anything but imminent.
  • November is normally the busiest time of the year for air cargo charter operators, but this year's round of natural disasters have made the crunch-time even worse. Relief organizations struggle to find space on aircraft to get the urgently needed supplies to disaster victims, but often run up against problems once military space and donated capacity dry up. To date, there have been 54 natural disasters around the world this year and air freight has played a critical role in almost all of them. Hurricane Mitch has killed an estimated 7,000 people in Central America so far and will keep relief organizations in emergency mode for the next four months.
  • By most accounts, Union Pacific is slowly digging itself out of the service problems that have plagued it for the last two years. Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad, a shortline heavily involved in the lumber trade, attributes much of its business gains over the last year to UP getting its transit times closer to what shippers consider normal. But not everyone is satisfied with UP's progress, as Gulf Coast chemical shippers will attest. There are still pockets of congestion, namely in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Based on premerger conditions, some shippers say the railroad still has a long way to go.
  • Schneider Logistics' international business is getting a boost from a major auto supplier. TRW Automotive selected Schneider Logistics Europe BV to manage its inbound, outbound and interplant shipments in Europe. Under terms of the agreement Schneider Logistics will handle TRW's inbound, outbound and interplant moves in Germany, England, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, The Czech Republic and Eastern Europe. TRW Automotive is a unit of TRW Inc. It is one of the world's largest independent automotive suppliers, with $7 billion in sales annually.
  • Microsoft's SQL Server 7.0, announced at the fall COMDEX show, is already a hot commodity. Both Manugistics Group and Logility, two supply-chain advanced planning and optimization software companies, are integrating or planning to integrate their software with the relational database management system. The software enables users to design, build and manage data warehouses on computers ranging in size from laptops to servers. In addition to scalability, Version 7.0 has improved its data-gathering ability and query environment from the previous version.
  • Canadian railways are making elaborate preparations to minimize winter delays and other problems for shippers. While El Ni'o made last winter a breeze, the railways and their customers haven't forgotten the plugged lines and delays of 1996-97. Canadian Pacific is banking on a lot of new muscle and a closer connection with Canadian and American weather forecasters to help get it through the worst that winter has to offer.
