    The port's profit before tax and abnormals was $12.7 million, with a dividend of $1.2 million being returned to the WA government.
    The port's rate of return on assets is 7.4 per cent compared with a target of six per cent.

  • Tanker Forecasts To 2005
    Poten & Partners, a New York headquartered ship and cargo brokerage and consulting firm has released Tanker Prospects for the 21st Century, a forecast of tanker rates to 2005. The 208-page report covers worldwide economic activity, oil demand, and crude oil flows for five classes of tankers. Projected demand for each class of tanker is compared to projected supply to arrive at a supply/demand balance, forming the basis for a rate forecast. Future rates are subject to a number of cross-currents. While the Asian Contagion has made a dramatic change of economic activity in several Southeast Asian nations, oil consumption is still expected to grow in Asian nations not significantly affected by the Asian Contagion plus Europe and North America. This does not sound particularly negative for tanker owners, but another cross current is significant growth in short haul oil from Latin America, West Africa, North Sea, offshore Gulf of Mexico. This will shorten the average voyage length reducing dependence for Middle East crude in the Atlantic basin. In the Pacific.
  • Shipping Fee Transparency Called For
