  • UE: Feport entend mener une discussion constructive sur le livre vert sur les ports
    Feport, cette Fédération des opérateurs privés européens de terminaux accueille favorablement dans ses grandes lignes, le livre vert de la CE sur les ports et les infrastructures maritimes, mais entend participer activement aux prochaines discussions relatives à l'élaboration des principes directeurs qui conditionneront cette future politique, car il y a effectivement matière à discussion sur bien des aspects. Tel est le point de vue formulé mardi dernier à Bruxelles au cours d'une conférence de presse donnée par la direction de Feport, en l'occurrence Peter Dietrich, assisté pendant un court instant de Niel Kinnock, commissaire européen au Transport et promoteur/auteur de ce livre vert.
  • Corneel Geerts stoppe le transport combiné en Belgique

"La qualité de service était vraiment trop déplorable", nous a-t-il expliqué. Pourtant, il continue à croire dans le ferroutage sur les longues distances. Entre la Suède et l'Italie, par exemple. Ou par autoroute roulante entre l'Allemagne et le sud et le centre de l'Europe.

  • MUA to fight WA gov't at Port Hedland
    THE MARITIME Union of Australia has vowed to maintain the battle against the Western Australian Government's quest to introduce workplace agreements and individual contracts for port workers around the State.
    MUA WA branch secretary Terry Buck said union members at Port Hedland were extremely concerned about the Government's insistence on these types of agreements for those employed by the successful bidder for a newly advertised stevedoring contract at the port.
  • MUA suspects new foreign training bid
    THE INDUSTRIAL temperature on the Australian waterfront was rising again yesterday with the Maritime Union of Australia identifying new overseas destinations for the alleged training of non-union labour and discussions with Patrick looking shaky.
    The national secretary of the union, John Coombs said he believed facilities in British Columbia and Johor, Malaysia have been approached to train workers for the Australian waterfront.
  • Steering failure caused grounding of bulk carrier, inquiry finds
    A MARINE Incident Investigation Unit inquiry into the grounding of the Cypriot bulk carrier Tassos N off Fremantle in January 1997 has blamed steering gear failure.
    As the US-bound vessel entered the Parmelia Channel a steering gear fault occurred which resulted in the ship not responding properly to the movements of the helm.
    The ship and its cargo of 37,775 tonnes of alumina was refloated later that day, with damage confined to the paintwork on the ship's bottom.
  • Farmers back P&CS into SA
    THE SOUTH Australian Farmers Federation has proclaimed its "unwavering support" for increased competition on the waterfront, a move which could herald the expansion of P&C Stevedores to South Australia.
    SAFF President Wayne Cornish said the federation had given its support in principle to P&CS which has set up a company on Melbourne's Webb Dock in a bid to increase competition on the waterfront.
    "P&C stevedores is not about union busting. It is a commercial entity which aims to cut costs of container handling by up to 50 per cent or $100 a container by introducing competition in the stevedoring industry." Mr Cornish said.
  • WA welcomes track agreement
    WESTERN Australian Transport Minister Eric Charlton has welcomed the establishment of a national body to coordinate planning and track upgrade.
    Mr Charlton said the formation of the Australian Rail Track Corporation would provide the impetus to get the high speed freight corridor completed and establish a one-stop shop to coordinate operators wanting to use the upgraded interstate line.
