    Avec un volume de transport annuel d'environ 450.000 tonnes de bananes, Intercontainer-Interfrigo (ICF) est le leader du transport bananier en Europe.

ICF a saisi l'occasion du dixième anniversaire du Bananes Express pour réunir toutes les parties impliquées dans ce succès au nouveau terminal bananier de Belgian New Fruit Wharf.
  • Etienne Schouppe critique la politique ferroviaire "doctrinaire" de la CE
    "Si la politique de démantèlement actuelle est poursuivie, cela aura des effets improductifs et se traduira par une augmentation des coûts. Les partisans de cette politique n'osent plus invoquer l'exemple britannique, le mécontentement étant général en ce moment au Royaume-Uni. Ils font désormais référence aux compagnies ferroviaires américaines spécialisées dans le transport de marchandises, alors que les conditions de travail y sont totalement différentes de celles en vigueur sur le vieux continent et qu'à quelques exceptions près, les entreprises n'y sont pas confrontées à une scission entre l'infrastructure et l'exploitation." L'administrateur délégué de la SNCB, Etienne Schouppe, a sévèrement attaqué la politique européenne en matière de libéralisation du rail lors de l'ouverture de l'année académique de l'Institute of Transport & Maritime Management Antwerp (ITMMA), lundi dernier à Anvers. A ses yeux, la Commission sape les bases sur lesquelles opèrent les compagnies ferroviaires européennes pour des raisons "idéologiques", et la politique mise en œuvre est contraire à l'objectif de "développement durable" et de transfert de trafic de la route vers le rail que la Commission prétend pourtant poursuivre.

  • Users slam CTAL 'go-slow'
    The alleged go-slow at Container Terminals Australia Ltd at Port Botany is having a severe impact on the reputation of the port of Sydney according to industry representatives.
    This is claimed in a letter sent to the national secretary of the Maritime Union of Australia, John Coombs, by the Sydney Ports Corporation on behalf of stevedoring terminals, FreightCorp, shipping lines and representatives of Greater Western and State Chambers of Commerce.
    The letter was written after a meeting last week at which the situation was discussed amid fears that the delays are costing Sydney port users business in both, in financial terms and in reputation.
    DCN has been covering the dispute for the past few weeks.
    The letter states that the ports of Sydney cannot handle cargo efficiently because:
    "There is clearly a go slow at CTAL at Port Botany as a result of the elimination of the chaser position for rubber tyred gantries (RTG)."
  • QR to freeze coal charges
    Queensland Rail will freeze coal rail freight charges for 12 months and introduce other financial incentives in a bid to cushion the effect of the Asian financial meltdown on its biggest customer -- the Queensland coal industry.
    State Transport Minister Steve Bredhauer announced over the weekend [4/10] that the government-owned QR had committed $40 million in coal freight relief funds in an effort to protect coal industry jobs in the state.
    Under the coal relief measures, applicable on tonnages railed for one year from 1 July 1998, QR's coal customers would no longer be penalised if they fail to reach their contractual commitments in terms of tonnages.
    Customers would also be offered lump sum rebates as an incentive to improve loading levels and availability from mines. The rebates are aimed to assist QR to better utilise its assets in a more efficient and productive manner.
    QR's freight incentive scheme, which rewards customers if they can achieve target levels of performance at a consistent and sustainable level, would also be expanded to other coal line corridors in the state.
  • QF freight shake-up underway
    Qantas' planned shake-up of freighter services from the US to Australia began last week, with the flag carrier promising greater flexibility for customers shipping freight to Australia.
    A spokesman for Qantas said that while available tonnages on flights from the US to Australia remained virtually unchanged under the reshuffle, the new timetable for dedicated freight flights on the southbound route would provide customers a greater weekly spread of freight space.
    Qantas adjusted its freighter services from the US to Australia to coincide with the start-up of five new weekly freighter services to Australia by global express freight giant FedEx.
  • Friday start-up for NR's Sydney-Perth express
    National Rail's ongoing efforts to attract traditional trucking business to rail is set to be given another boost with the start-up of its inaugural fast freight service from Sydney to Perth on Friday.
    The so-called "Western Sprinter" service is a new three-day express Sydney-Perth rail freight service which leaves Sydney every Friday evening, arriving in Perth for unloading early on Monday mornings.
    The service will include NR's PolarPak on-train power system for refrigerated containers. According to NR, the total transit time for freight ex-Sydney will be 60 hours, compared with the present 79 hours transit.
    NR said a major attraction of the new service was its late cut-off time, at 6.30pm in Sydney -- four and a half hours earlier than the present service.
