  • Zeebrugge: Rheinbarge devrait accélérer les dessertes rhénanes
    De nouvelles perspectives s'annoncent pour le port de Zeebrugge en matière de dessertes de l'hinterland européen. D'une part Inter Ferry Boats (SNCB) va y créer un port sec que jouxtera une zone "marchandises". D'autre part, le réseau NEN va être dédoublé. Enfin, IFB s'apprête à lancer le concept "Rheinbarge". C'est ce qu'a déclaré Marc Dubois, general manager de IFB, lors du colloque organisé à l'occasion du 25e anniversaire d'APZI, l'organe promotionnel de la communauté maritime et portuaire de Bruges-Zeebrugge.
  • Inter Ferry Boats récupère le trafic de Sea-Land entre Anvers et Rotterdam
    Fin de l'an dernier, l'opérateur Interferry "perdait" le "Delta Express", un trafic des containers de Sea-Land entre le terminal anversois Zomerweg et la Maasvlakte de Rotterdam (les boîtes continuant toutefois à être traitées au terminal d'Interferry à Anvers). Le nouvel opérateur était la société NDX, une joint-venture entre CSX, NS Cargo et DB Cargo. Un an plus tard, Inter Ferry Boats récupère l'opération des dix navettes hebdomadaires (soit 20 trains dans les deux sens).
  • Le "Cigogne-shuttle"augmente fréquence et capacité
    En novembre de l'an dernier, la société de transport routier de Dendermonde Transport Verbeken et Interferry, la filiale de la SNCB spécialisée dans le transport de containers, devenue Inter Ferry Boats depuis sa fusion avec une autre filiale de la SNCB Ferry Boats (et, pour être complet, avec la division rail d'une autre filiale, Edmond Depaire) créaient un GIE 50/50 baptisé "Cigogne-shuttle" et lançaient une nouvelle relation ferroviaire entre Anvers et Strasbourg, le "Cigogne-shuttle". Dès le 1er janvier prochain, la navette va prendre une autre tournure en ce sens qu'elle sera à 100% entre les mains des "clients". La fréquence des navettes repassera à cinq trains par semaine.
  • Un projet pour une deuxième Maasvlakte est lancé

  • Tug confusion costing industry: PPSP
    Melbourne Tug Services' new tug ordering practices are costing shipping companies money, according to the Port Phillip Sea Pilots managing director, Charles Griffiths.
    The new arrangement which began on Sunday, requires that ships' agents advise of the number of tugs required for a vessel at least an hour before a vessel's arrival or departure, with the old arrangement of ordering 'to pilots requirements' no longer accepted.
    Any tugs ordered that leave the wharf to attend a vessel, now also incur normal charges -- whether or not the tug is utilised.
    Captain Griffiths says the new arrangement is causing considerable confusion.
  • Botany: People skills required, says MUA
    Productivity at Port Botany terminals will not improve until management acquire some "people skills", according to the deputy secretary of the central New South Wales branch of the Maritime Union of Australia, Jim Donovan.
    Mr Donovan told DCN he did not believe productivity levels could improve under management which did not consult with its workers.
    There was very little doubt, he claimed, that if management had made the effort to speak to its workers, productivity levels would be favourably affected, he said.
    Referring specifically to Container Terminals Australia Ltd, Mr Donovan said P&O Ports had to admit that the management's decision to remove crane chasers was wrong and resulted in a drop in performance.
  • Authority report card: B minus, try harder
    There is a perception by the breakbulk industry that port authorities are preoccupied with container terminal operation and that other forms of shipping run second, according to Asiaworld managing director Ken Fitzpatrick.
    Speaking at the 36th biennial conference of the Association of Australian Port and Marine Authorities in Adelaide last week, he said the same message was out in the general community as shown during the Patrick dispute where public debate raged over how many containers an hour was acceptable.
  • Ballast program trial 'progressing well'
    A trial of the communications system to be implemented as part of Australia's coastal ballast water management program is progressing well, according to a spokesman for the project's joint consultants, PPK and Thompson Clarke Shipping.
    The spokesman said yesterday that the degree of cooperation exhibited by the lines involved in the month-long trial had been exceptional over the first two weeks.
  • NZ Guild still battling TranzRail, MSA
    The New Zealand Merchant Service Guild is still thinking of taking legal action against the NZ Maritime Safety Authority over the latter's decision to exempt TranzRail from having to make several modifications to crew accommodations on its new 150-metre inter-island ferry, Aratere.
    Guild secretary John McLeod, who is attending an International Transport Workers Federation meeting in India, was not available for comment but an MSA spokesman said it understood that the guild was still considering litigation as a means of forcing TranzRail to undertake the modifications in line with the requirements of ILO Convention 133.

NOVEMBER 2, 1998
  • WWF Urges TBT ban
    The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) urged world maritime authorities to ban the use of TBT-based antifouling paints utilized to keep ships' hulls free and clear. The group reported that "disturbing evidence" of its effect on marine life is coming in from around the world. Meanwhile, a group met in Washington, D.C. last week to propose that sudden action not be taken regarding TBT-based marine coatings, citing evidence that the level of TBT has dropped considerably in the last 10 years after many countries passed legislation limiting use of the coating.
    The Organotin Environmental Program (ORTEP) Association hosted an event which delivered data which shows that that estimated annual cost to the world fleet to switch from TBT-based paints to currently available tin-free products would range from $500 million to $1 billion. The cost analysis was conducted by Princeton Economic Research Inc.
    The International Maritime Organization (IMO) was to start meetings today at which officials will discuss the fate of TBT-based paints, a group representing the economic and scientific communities recently met in Washington, D.C. to present information which reportedly forecasts dire economic consequences resulting from a "premature ban of Tributylin (TBT)-based antifouling paints."
