  • ECT: Hutchison devra-t-il composer avec RCE ?
    Curieuse évolution que celle que prend le dossier relatif à la vente d'ECT. A l'origine, le caractère des soumissions était bien précis. Le candidat retenu pourrait acquérir 45% de l'entreprise, le reste devant tomber dans les mains d'institutions néerlandaises ou à fort ancrage néerlandais. Le groupe Hutchison Whampoa a été retenu pour une discussion approfondie, les deux autres candidats, en l'occurrence PSA et CMB, étant priés de s'en tenir à l'accord relatif à la procédure de soumission. En d'autres termes, au cas où Hutchison se désisterait ou serait finalement écarté car ayant, après examen approfondi de la situation de l'entreprise, décidé de réduire le montant de son offre, l'organisme chargé de la vente peut toujours se rabattre sur l'un des deux autres candidats.
  • C. Bourne (MOL): "Les taux progresseront encore au départ de l'Asie"
    Si l'on en croit Chris Bourne, managing director de Mitsui OSK Lines, le liner s'oriente progressivement vers des jours meilleurs. L'année 1998 aura été très difficile; toutefois, les perspectives pour 1999 sont nettement meilleures et l'an 2000 devrait ramener les lignes opérant sur l'Asie dans les chiffres noirs. Animant une des sessions de la conférence "Intermodal 98", C. Bourne avait choisi comme thème: "Les effets à long terme de la crise asiatique sur le shipping et le trading".
  • La libéralisation secoue la navigation intérieure belge
    Quelques jours après l'entrée en vigueur de la libéralisation dans la navigation intérieure belge, la situation reste peu claire. L'industrie tente sa chance et essaie d'obtenir une diminution des tarifs de 40%, les bureaux d'affrètement font concurrence aux transporteurs, tandis que les bateliers indépendants ont pris en traînant les pieds le chemin qui mène vers les coopératives. La situation est extrêmement tendue dans la navigation citernière belge, où certains opérateurs ont refusé d'effectuer des transports de Rotterdam et Flessingue à destination de Bruxelles et de Liège à des prix en-dessous du tarif plancher. A l'heure de mettre sous presse, une réunion entre chargeurs et armateurs était toujours en cours à Anvers.
  • Le "passif historique" au centre du débat sur le décret portuaire
    Harmoniser les conditions de fonctionnement entre ports flamands vers l'avenir, comme le prévoit la proposition de décret portuaire, est une chose. Mais l'égalité des chances ne sera réelle que si les distorsions du passé sont elles aussi corrigées, a argumenté Gand - partiellement suivi sur ce point par Ostende - lors du débat public qui a eu lieu hier à la Commission de l'Aménagement du Territoire, des Travaux publics et des Transports du Parlement flamand. L'échevin portuaire gantois Termont a exigé une garantie formelle qu'une telle évaluation des "charges historiques" aurait lieu. Anvers et Zeebrugge ont estimé qu'il vaudrait mieux qu'une telle discussion ait lieu en dehors du débat sur le décret portuaire. Les quatre ports étaient cependant d'accord sur le fait qu'une adoption rapide du décret en question serait une bonne affaire.

  • Double headers to go under new EBA
    Double header shifts will be eliminated by P&O Ports under its new enterprise agreements.
    This is believed to be one of "the agreed core terms" of site certified agreements contained in the in principle agreement now being considered by the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) and its members.
    With the practice of double headers gone, other overtime will be available only at the discretion of management and at management's direction.
    An annual fixed salary, based on the actual roster, hours to be worked and general conditions of employment will constitute the basis for payment.
  • SA angry over FreightCorp win
    A bitter row has erupted over the selection of NSW rail freight operator FreightCorp as the successful tenderer for the lucrative Flinders Power intra-state coal haulage task in South Australia.
    Adelaide-based Australia Southern Railroad, which currently operates the daily coal service for Flinders with their own wagons, locomotives and crews running over the Flinders-owned track, is perplexed at the awarding of the contract to FreightCorp.
    Opposition parties in SA yesterday also expressed strong opposition to FreightCorp's selection, concerned about the potential loss of jobs and future rail track investment in the state resulting from the tender.
  • COSCO follows the pack on THCs
    The imposition of an import terminal handling charge by COSCO has been described as "a de facto freight rate increase" by the executive president of the Australian Peak Shippers Association, Frank Beaufort.
    Mr Beaufort said it was disappointing that shipping lines saw the need to impose these charges, although he admitted that the Chinese carrier was merely following the practice of other lines.
    "They are probably one of the last," he said.
    COSCO will introduce the terminal handling charge from all load ports other than those in Japan, Korea and Hong Kong, which will remain at the existing rates, from 1 January.
  • BHPT quits Newcastle tugs
    BHP transport and its Japanese partners are to end their involvement in tugs in the port of Newcastle, selling Hunter Towage Services and four tugs to Adsteam/Howard Smith joint-venture Waratah Towage.
    The sale, which is subject to the completion of due diligence and discussions with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, brings to an end a sometimes bitter contest between HTS and Waratah subsidiary Newcastle Tugs which, at least in the early days, reflected considerable enmity between the parent companies over service and pricing issues.
