  • Anvers et Zeebrugge vont former un GIE pour les trafics containérisés
    La dernière tentative aura été la bonne: les ports d'Anvers et de Zeebrugge sont entrés dans la voie de la coopération, à l'initiative des deux administrations portuaires. Celles-ci vont constituer un GIE (Groupement d'intérêt économique) qui, dans un premier stade, sera axé sur les terminaux traitant les trafics containérisés. Dans le contexte belgo-flamand, on peut considérer cet accord comme historique, car il va manifestement donner une nouvelle orientation à la politique portuaire, qui évoluera ainsi sur un plan plus rationnel, plus logique, d'autant plus qu'il sera possible d'obtenir un rendement beaucoup plus élevé des investissements en infrastructures. Enfin, cet accord ne manquera pas, à terme, d'avoir des répercussions sur les trafics qui intéressent ou sont susceptibles d'intéresser les deux ports en question.

  • Applause for TFES boost

  • MPC FoI victory premature
    The Victorian Labor opposition's claim of a major victory in a fight for the release of Melbourne Port Corporation documents under a Freedom of Information (FoI) request could be premature.
    The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal's ruling that the MPC was covered by the government's freedom of information laws has not been an impetus for the corporation to delve into its filing cabinets and hand over the documents.
    A spokesperson for the MPC said: "We have taken independent legal advice on this matter and are still considering our options."
    The VCAT's ruling is far from the end of the process, and should it wish to the corporation could take its case to the Supreme Court.
  • Union watches Sandra Marie
    The MUA is carefully monitoring the movement of the former Australian coastal bulk carrier, the Sandra Marie.
    The Sandra Marie, formerly employed in the soda ash trade between Port Adelaide and Sydney, has left South Australia for New Zealand with Australian officers and Tongan ratings on board.
    The former Australian registered ship has been reflagged in Tonga.
    The vessel's operators while in Australian waters, Intercontinental Ship Management, remain tight-lipped about the vessel or her future.
    However, according to industry sources once in New Zealand the Australian officers will be replaced with a New Zealand crew and she will enter the trans-Tasman trade.
    This has caused concern to the MUA according to the union's deputy national secretary, Paddy Crumlin.
  • Patrick not waiting for 'loose ends'
    Patrick expects to implement its new enterprise agreement across the country on Monday, irrespective of whether the Maritime Union of Australia comes to an agreement with a maintenance contractor or not.
    Late yesterday the MUA was again locked in discussions with the maintenance contractor to Patrick, Fluor Daniel, after making good progress on Tuesday.
    It is understood that the issue of numbers was the major sticking point, with the MUA attempting to ensure that as many of its displaced members secure new jobs with the contractor.
  • P&O Australia reports good first half
    P&O Australia contributed Stg 31.6 million to P&O's overall operating profit of Stg 223.6 million during the first six months of the year to 30 June.
    This was slightly less than the Stg 33.1 million contributed during the same period last year, but represented a rise due to the falling value of the Australian dollar.
    The group's headline profit before reorganisation costs stood at Stg 151.7 million, well above the Stg 131.2 million recorded in the same six months a year ago.
    P&O chairman Lord Sterling said the overall outlook for the group continued to be positive.
