  • Les actions des pilotes pourraient leur coûter 5 mio. de BEF par navire
    Journée décisive ce jeudi en ce qui concerne le dossier des pilotes belges, pour autant que le tribunal se prononce sur l'action en référé menée par l'AGHA, la Gentse Havengemeenschap, qui regroupent les associations profesionnelles de chacun de ces ports, et par une vingtaine d'entreprises privées anversoises et gantoises, contre l'Association des pilotes de rivière et de canaux et ses huit membres du conseil. L'action en question vise à réclamer des intéressés un dédommagement de 5 mio. de BEF par navire, qui serait victime d'une manière ou d'une autre des actions qui seraient menées par les pilotes en vue de défendre leurs exigences dans le cadre du dossier intéressant la structure de leur profession.

  • "Vers une croissance plus forte des ports méditerranéens et des EDC dans l'hinterland"
    La globalisation de l'économie va favoriser la poursuite de la croissance de la containérisation. En Europe, cela va mener à certains déplacements: la part des ports de la Méditerranée va croître et l'hégémonie des ports de Nord de l'Europe va baisser. L'accroissement de la taille des navires va accroître la discontinuité des arrivages, entraînant une hausse de la demande en entreposage. Mais les centres européens de distribution (EDC) risquent de ne plus en trouver tellement dans les ports, mais à l'intérieur des terres.

  • VCA tonnages up, revenue down
    The Victorian Channels Authority has completed its second full year of operation and its financial results show an after tax profit for 1997-98 of $5.258 million.
    During the year dividends of $3.13 million were paid to the state government. Total income for the year to 30 June was $20.767 million, a reduction of almost $1 million over 1996-97.
    On 1 July 1997, the VCA reduced its charges from 40 cents a gross ton to 35.5 cents a gross ton, and a further reduction to 30.4 cents a gross ton was introduced on 1 July this year.
    VCA ceo Ian Edwards told DCN: "If we had continued with the 40 cent base rate during the year we would have made $2.5 million more than we did."
    He said the effect of the decreases had been a 24 per cent reduction in tonnage charges since VCA began operating in March 1996.
  • Melbourne tug of war ends in draw
    Less than a week after their introduction, new tug-ordering practices by Melbourne Tug Services have been shelved after criticism from the Port Phillip Sea Pilots and the shipping industry.
    The short-lived changes required ships' agents to advise the number of tugs required for a vessel at least an hour before the vessel's arrival or departure, with the scrapping of ordering 'to pilots' requirements'. Any tugs ordered that left the wharf to attend a vessel, were to incur normal charges whether or not the tug was used.
    After a meeting on Wednesday between representatives of the pilots, tugs and ships agents, a mutual resolution to the issue has resulted in the system being modified.
    The alterations, which will allow more flexibility, will see the re-introduction of 'to pilots requirements' after the re-issuing of a new 'pilot tug requirements sheet' which will be distributed to all ships' agents as soon as possible.
  • Dispute compo claims sought
    THE Official Receiver of New South Wales, George Caddy, has called for those small businesses which suffered damages as a result of the 7 April to 2 September waterfront dispute between the MUA and Patrick Stevedores, to lodge claims for compensation by 31 March 1999.
    Under an agreement reached early last month between Patrick, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and the MUA, Patrick agreed to pay up to $7.5 million to cover damages claimed by small businesses in a deal based on all patties withdrawing threats of litigation arising out of the dispute.
  • PWCS dispute not affecting exports
    THE Australian Industrial Relations Commission was yesterday afternoon dealing with a dispute which has arisen at the Port Waratah Coal Services site in Newcastle.

    The Commission hearing was expected to involve two unions at a federal level: the Maritime Union of Australia and the Transport Workers Union, while a separate hearing was being sought at state level for unions whose members are employed under state awards.
  • Govt under fire over roads
    THE federal government, and in particular the new federal Transport Minister John Anderson, have come under fire in Victoria this week for the commonwealth's road funding commitments to the state.
    An editorial in yesterday's Herald Sun attacked Mr Anderson's refusal to provide federal funds to re-build the Melbourne-Geelong freeway, described as "Victoria's deadliest road" with 86 fatalities in the past eight years.
    The editorial said Mr Anderson showed "callous indifference towards the families of the dead" for refusing to explain why the government would not provide the $100 million needed to match a similar contribution by the Victorian government to fix the road.

  • R&B Falcon Records $20.5 Million Loss
    R&B Falcon Corp. late last week reported that weakened demand, combined with a special charge of $85.8 million surrounding the cancellation of the Peregrine VI and Peregrine VIII conversion projects, conspired to create a net loss of $20.5 million for the three months ended Sept. 30, versus a net income of $35 million for the same period a year ago. Operating income has dropped as well, as the company is experiencing higher operating costs associated with the activation of two incremental deepwater units, marine fleet additions and a decline in profitability in its inland water operations. Further bad news for the company and the sector related to the company's fleet utilization rates, which have plummeted from 95% in 3Q 1997 to 64% in 3Q 1998.
  • Keppel To Restructure
    Singapore-based conglomerate Keppel Corp. announced a major restructuring and cost-reduction program which includes the merger of its engineering and off-shore rig-building units.

The new, leaner Keppel Corp. will concentrate of five core businesses -- marine, offshore energy and engineering, banking and financial services, property investment, development and management and telecommunications and transport. The group would also merge its overseas shipyard operations, including those in the Philippines and the Middle East, to form a bigger ship repair and shipbuilding firm, he added. "Our aim is to be the regional leader in shiprepair and conversions, and a major builder of specialized and medium-sized vessels," he said.
