  • L'UE reprend la discussion sur l'Eurovignette et l'accord de transit avec les Suisses
    Les ministres européens du Transport réouvriront les négociations sur la hausse de l'Eurovignette - négociations interrompues pendant de longs mois - aujourd'hui à Luxembourg. La discussion a trait à trois points importants: le montant de la vignette et le degré de différentiation, la remise pour les poids lourds des régions périphérignes de l'UE et la taxe séparée pour le Brenner. En ce qui concerne ce dernier point, le processus décisionnel est indissociable de l'accord de transit avec la Suisse pour le transport routier lourd à partir de l'UE.

A Anvers le partenaire est la firme Herfurth & Co s.a. qui intervient en tant qu'agent.
  • Nissan cherche à coopérer avec Daimler-Benz dans le véhicule utilitaire en Europe
    Nissan a la ferme intention de demeurer sur le marché européen du camion, en dépit du fait que ce n'en est qu'un acteur mineur. La présentation du camion léger Cabstar "E" de 2,8 à 4,5 tonnes, qui remplace la version châssis-cabine du Trade en est le témoignage. La prochaine étape sera le lancement à la fin de l'année prochaine des nouveaux camions de léger et moyen tonnage ECO-T. Par contre, le remplacement du Trade Van (la version fourgon de cet utilitaire) a été gelé. Apparemment, Nissan Vehiculos Industriales attend de voir quelles seront les coopérations possible avec Mercedes-Benz.

  • Legal action dropped, MUA claims
    The path to further waterfront reform in Australia has been cleared following a decision by P&O Ports to drop its legal action against the Maritime Union of Australia.
    This was confirmed yesterday by the national secretary of the union, John Coombs.
    Mr Coombs told DCN the legal issues which were hampering the progress of discussions on further reform have been settled to the satisfaction of the union.
    Asked whether this meant that the actions had been dropped, Mr Coombs replied "yes", adding that correspondence to this effect was now on the way.
    The union has been reluctant to enter into discussions of further reforms while the threat of legal action hung over its head.
  • Mr Presley has left the port
    In a maritime world now dominated by expensively-fashioned and rigidly-maintained corporate identities it's a rare to discover a ship with its own identity -- and a story behind that identity.
    Melbourne this week played host to the splendidly-named Love Me Tender, a 9973 GRT bulk carrier completed late last year in China for registered owners Hawk Maritime Corp and sailing under the flag of Hong Kong.
    The ship undertook a southbound voyage into Australia on charter to Singapore-based POST with steel and then handed over in Melbourne to Jebsens for a Brisbane-Fiji trip with coal.
  • Hastings battles to save trade
    The south-eastern Victorian port of Hastings (Western Port) is feeling shock waves from the explosions and fires at Esso's Longford plant last week as the two principal users deal with the consequences.
    Vessel movements at the port have virtually ceased as the production and processing of crude oil, propane and butane have been halted since last Friday.
    Imports of slab and coil steel could also be affected, as the BHP Lysaght plant at Western Port, which is gas powered, has ceased operating.
    DCN understands BHP has been stockpiling slab, which it ships from the Port Kembla steelworks on the ro-ro/steel products carrier Iron Monarch. A shipment arrived yesterday afternoon, the second to arrive at BHP since production stopped, but there is only enough room to store another two shipments.
  • Robe seeks access to Hamersley's rail network
    Robe River Iron Associates (RRIA) is seeking access to part of Hamersley Iron's Pilbara rail network to reduce capital expenditure for its proposed $1 billion West Angeles mine.
    Robe has applied to the National Competition Council (NCC) for a ruling under the Trade Practices Act to force Hamersley to negotiate terms and access with it.
    The West Angeles mine is due to come on stream in 2001 and Robe's proposal to link into Hamersley's rail network would considerably reduce Robe's outlay for the project.
    By linking in to Hamersley's rail network it would only need to build a 65km extension to West Angeles.
  • Parties trade blows over excise
    Shadow Industry Minister Simon Crean has been accused by Transport Minister Mark Vaile of claiming that the coalition's planned reductions in diesel excise would not be fully passed on to consumers "when the Labor Party's own analysis says exactly the opposite".
    In an interview on ABC Radio on Wednesday, Mr Crean said anyone who believed reductions in the diesel excise would be fully passed on to consumers, "may as well believe in, you know, the tooth fairy".

  • Protectionism rears its head
    FREE TRADE IN SHIPPING is under threat. The financial crisis afflicting the world economy is producing calls for protectionism from opposite ends of the globe. Chinese owners are reacting to their first taste of Western-style recession by starting moves to regulate dry cargo rates on traffic in and out of the country. Zhen Xuezhong (above left) of the China Shipowners Association is rounding up owners for a regulation committee. They are not alone. Western European shipbuilders are calling for an about-turn on an agreement to phase out subsidies in two years. Meyer Werft boss Bernard Werft (above right) claims the yards face ruin from Far East builders.
