  • Très forte croissance du trafic de Novatrans en 1997
    "Pour ses 30 ans fetés en 1997, l'année aura été excellente pour Novatrans", annonce la société française de transport combiné. De fait, l'entreprise a dépassé pour la première fois la barre des 400.000 véhicules. Le trafic total a été de 407.096 véhicules (et caisses mobiles), soit une progression de 15,6 %. "La satisfaction est d'autant plus grande que la progression du trafic a été à deux chiffres, tant dans le domaine intérieur (+ 11,8 % en nombre de véhicules, + 14,75 % en tonnage), que dans celui de l'international (+ 18,6 % en nombre de véhicules, + 20,4 % en tonnage)", note la direction de Novatrans.
  • Atlantique: le marché va-t-il absorber les nouvelles capacités qui s'annoncent?
    Jusqu'à présent, le trafic entre l'Europe du Nord et l'Amérique du Nord semble avoir absorbé sans problème les nouveaux venus que sont Cosco, Yang Ming et K Line. De même, plus au Nord, pour ce qui est de la desserte de Montréal, le service hebdomadaire assuré par le trio Mærsk/Sea-Land et P&ONL, a été absorbé. Sur cette route, les volumes sont à la hausse tant EB que WB et l'on s'efforce de maintenir les taux à un niveau convenable. Les conférences "Continental Canadian Westbound Freight Conference et Canadian North Atlantic Westbound Freight Conference" ont d'ailleurs décidé d'introduire dès le 1er mars prochain une adaptation tarifaire de 25 dollars US pour un 20' et 45 dollars pour un 40', ce qui qui est assez modeste et témoigne d'une certaine prudence.

  • Geraeds rejoint Ewals

Le 16 février prochain, il entrera au service du groupe Ewals Cargo Care (ECC) à Tegelen, où il sera responsable de la stratégie, du marketing et des opérations. Le groupe a réalisé un chiffre d'affaires de 11 milliards de BEF l'année dernière, dont 1,5 mia. en Belgique (Genk). Ewals Cargo Care entend surtout se profiler en tant que prestataire de services dans le domaine de la logistique intégrale. Dans ce contexte, la venue de Geraeds constitue un atout non négligeable.

  • North Korean bulker breaks arrest
    A North Korean-owned bulk carrier arrested in Kakinada, India is on the run, with a USD 3m cargo of soya bean meal belonging to grain trader Andres on board.
  • New projects wait for Clarkson's real McCoy
    One of the world's most well-known shipbrokers is leaving the business. The retirement of Clarkson's Hugh McCoy marks the end of a 30-year career filled with fixing and some failing, but McCoy isn't exactly sailing off into the sunset. New shipping engagements are already in the works.
  • World-Wide loses on Panamaxes
    World-Wide Shipping has reportedly chartered one of its Panamax bulker newbuildings out at such a low rate that it appears the company will be hit with big losses on the vessel.
  • Papachristidis faces large damage claim
    A Papachristidis-controlled ULCC that had three pilots on board and was being assisted by four tugs, but still hit a refinery berth, has sparked a big damage claim.
  • Filipino LPG team rides out the storm
    The economic gloom in Asia is putting several projects on hold, but all has not come to a complete standstill. In the Philippines, a young, LPG-carrier owning company is quietly negotiating newbuilding contracts in Japan.

Traffic Worldweb site
  • A "freak" dry year is causing shipping lines to look for alternatives to the Panama Canal. The drought caused by the El Niño pattern is forcing some ships to avoid the canal. Approximately 17 percent of Panama Canal ships are affected. The same thing happened three decades ago to the Suez Canal, and the eight-year closing of that route from 1967 through 1975 effected long-lasting and in some cases irrevocable changes in world oil transport patterns. Many lines searching for an alternative to the Panama Canal ironically are looking at the Suez Canal now.
  • The Department of Transportation will get its largest funding ever under President Clinton's proposed budget. DOT would get $43.4 billion for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. Amtrak is a big winner under the president's plan, getting $621 million from the Highway Trust Fund. That thought sent highway interests to the medicine cabinet for aspirin, or something stronger, calling it "highway robbery." Maritime interests were concerned about the Coast Guard's proposal to charge commercial carriers up to $165 million annually to offset the cost of providing navigational assistance.
  • For the first time since 1993, all the major LTL carriers were profitable in the same year in 1997. A Traffic World analysis shows the strong economy, firm pricing environment and changes in operations have resulted in stunning improvement in the LTL business. How long can the LTL recovery continue? Analysts say it will last at least through the middle of this year, but wage pressure and other factors will make the second half more difficult.
  • Criticism of Union Pacific heated up as congestion problems in Texas continued to show little improvement. Kansas City Southern Railway President Michael Haverty promised a solution would be forged, preferably by the Surface Transportation Board, but legislatively or legally, if necessary. Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Charles Matthews planned to meet with STB Chairman Linda Morgan to present plans his agency has been discussing with railroads other than UP.
  • Crowley American Transport is close to finalizing an agreement with Lykes Bros. Steamship Co. that would give Lykes a charter for up to three Sea Wolf-class ships now in Crowley's east coast South American trade. The deal may be completed in two weeks. The deal will mean the end of U.S.-flag ships along the east coast of South America.

The deal will mean the end of U.S.-flag ships along the east coast of South America.
  • FAA Administrator Jane Garvey kept good on her word to delay action on restricting payload or requiring massive changes to the fleet of converted Boeing 727 freighters. After more than a year of tug-of-war between the all-cargo industry and the federal agency, Garvey decided to reopen the comment period and hold at least two public meetings on the issue to allow 727 operators and FAA engineers to air their views on what needs to be done to make the aircraft better suited to carry heavy loads.
  • C.O.M. Transportation Services, Santa Rosa, Calif., is buying New Willig Freight Lines for an undisclosed amount. This is Willig's third incarnation after going bankrupt in 1995. Former employees started New Willig Freight Lines last spring. The similarities between C.O.M. and Willig are striking, as both companies hit hard times in the 1980s. C.O.M. survived by diversifying into more logistics services while Willig faced harder times as a traditional intrastate California carrier.
  • Two warehouse manufacturing software companies are growing by acquisition and investment. McHugh Software International agreed to buy Software Architects, a Brookfield, Wis.-based developer of midmarket warehouse management software for the UNIX and Windows NT platforms. Also, rival warehouse software provider Optum Software began an equity partnership with InSight Capital Partners, a New York investment firm specializing in supply-chain and enterprise resource planning software.
  • Canadian west coast ports handling forest products are the first to feel the pinch of the Asian financial crisis, but it hasn't been as big a hit as some feared. Vancouver, which was Canada's top port, has been able to offset the softening in lumber shipments to Asia through higher coal and grain movements. The next six months will be key in seeing how much the Asian economic slowdown hurts Canadian ports.
