  • BASF Anvers vise les freeways et les centres de distribution intérieurs
    L'entreprise chimique BASF souhaite confier une partie plus importante de ses transports au rail et pourrait envisager de jouer le rôle d'opérateur ferroviaire sur les freeways à l'avenir. Cela ne signifie nullement que la mobilité du transport routier revête une importance subalterne au yeux de la filiale anversoise du groupe allemand. Un nombre d'activités industrielles dépendent plus ou moins directement de la souplesse, de la flexibilité et du prix de revient du transport routier de petits volumes de produits souvent spécialisés vers le client. D'éventuelles entraves à la mobilité pourraient menacer les activités actuelles ou les nouveaux investissements. A ce propos, les responsables de BASF déplorent que le développement d'Anvers en tant que port à containers et de distribution, qui résulte en une hausse sensible du trafic, ne va de pair avec les mesures d'accompagnement nécessaires en matière d'infrastructure. Les investissements dans la capacité du transport routier s'imposent tant que le rail et le fluvial n'offrent d'alternative valable.
  • Clipper veut aligner de plus grands navires sur Anvers
    L'armement Clipper Shipping fait désormais escale à Anvers, son principal port de base en Europe, avec un nouveau type de conbulker handysize gréé de 29.500 t.dw. Leur utilisation constitue l'amorce d'une évolution importante pour ses services réguliers au départ du port scaldien, qui sont essentiellement axés sur des lots. Le "Clipper Faith", dont c'était la première escale à Anvers(1), est venu y charger une cargaison complète de 28.000 tonnes de fers et aciers à destination des Etats-Unis, plus précisément des ports de Philadelphie, Brownsville, Houston, Mobile et Tampa.
  • France: mesures limitées en faveur des secteurs maritime et portuaire
    Ces derniers jours, l'actualité maritime et portuaire française a été marquée par un certain nombre de rumeurs, dont beaucoup reflétaient une interprétation hâtive. D'où l'intérêt de faire le point d'une façon précise sur les mesures réellement décidées et sur ce qui est toujours en discussion. En ce qui concerne la marine marchande, il n'y a pas de relance du dispositif des quirats (investissement défiscalisé dans des parts de navires). Les nouvelles mesures sont en effet beaucoup plus limitées. S'agissant des ports, les manutentionnaires obtiennent quelques allégements des charges. Mais la véritable réalisation de l'ambitieuse réforme annoncée en 1992 reste toujours en filigrane.
  • Rotterdam va définir des "routes à containers" internes
    Les manutentionnaires de taille moyenne des zones portuaires rotterdamoises Waalhaven et Eemhaven et l'Entreprise portuaire communale discutent de l'éventualité de créer des "routes à containers" entre les sociétés en question et le Rail Service Centurm. Le chef de projet de ces "routes internes" au sein de l'Entreprise portuaire communale s'attend à ce qu'une période de deux ans s'écoule au minimum avant le premier coup de pioche.

  • Owners, MUA agree but officers demur
    A major breakthrough agreement on a new enterprise-based employment arrangement between Australian shipowners and the MUA is expected to be delivered to the Workplace Relations Minister, Peter Reith for consideration by the end of the month.
    The chief executive of the Australian Shipowners Association Lachlan Payne said that the agreement required only "technical modifications" before being sent to Mr Reith, however the Australian Institute of Marine and Power Engineers said its members and those of the Australian Maritime Officers Union had not been consulted since last year, and would not agree to the total package until the conditions of employment had been scrutinised.
  • TNT signs 40m contract
    TNT Australia has signed one of the largest logistics contracts in the country - a five year outsourcing deal for Telstra's nationwide warehouse and transport operations.
    To service the contract the Dutch-owned TNT announced the formation of a new logistics division TNT Communications logistics to be based in Melbourne with about 135 people dedicated to the contract.
  • P&O loses fight
    P&O Ports has been told to close shop at Dampier toady following an unsuccessful attempt to obtain an injunction in the WA supreme Court.
    P&O claimed a lease agreement between the Dampier Port Authority and Western Stevedores was not in the public interest and illegally prevented it from trading in a port where it had been operating for over 20 years.
  • WA opposition forces Dampier WS back to negotiating table
    Western Australia's Opposition has introduced a disallowance motion into state parliament which will force the Dampier Port Authority and Western Stevedores back to the bargaining table to renegotiate part of their contract.
    The motion prevents the government from introducing new regulations for the DPA to enable it to pass its port charging role over to Western Stevedores.
  • Blue Star brand to continue
    P&O Nedlloyd's acquisition of Blue Star line will lead to changes in some aspects of services offered by Blue Star in Australia.
    All agency arrangements remain in place, however, with P&O Nedlloyd acting for Blue Star Line in Australia and the Blue Star name would continue to be used in all publicity and documentation.
