  • MSC maintiendra seul le cap sur le M-O et le Far East
    L'armement MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Cy) va donc retrouver son entière liberté d'action sur la route Europe-Moyen-Orient-sous-continent Indien-Asie dès le 8 octobre prochain. Les expériences avec Hyundai, puis Norasia, ne semblent pas avoir été concluantes, ce qui n'a rien de surprenant compte tenu des différences de culture d'entreprise, mais aussi de conception. En fait, MSC, a toujours mené depuis sa création en 1970 sa barque seul (et très bien d'ailleurs), et partant, ce dernier divorce ne lui cause aucun problème particulier, d'autant plus qu'il a désormais les coudées plus franches en matières d'initiatives et de décisions.

  • Sydney surges on container flood
    A SIXTH consecutive year of record container trade in 1997/98 is just one indicator of an outstanding year for the Sydney Ports Corporation, the New South Wales Minister for Ports, Kim Yeadon, said.
    Mr Yeadon said that provisional container figures for the year ending 30 June, 1998, reached a record 800,000 teus, an increase of 9.6 per cent over the 1996/97 financial year.
    Of this record throughput, import accounted for 422,000 teus with exports totalling 378,000 teus.
    The Minister said that Sydney now handles approximately 30 per cent of Australia’s total container throughput, mainly through the two major terminals at Port Botany.
    The biggest markets for Sydney container trade for the year were China, the United States and New Zealand.
  • MUA slates Patrick "treachery"
    THE MARITIME Union of Australia has lashed out at Patrick’s management, complaining about the "treachery" with which the union has to deal on a daily basis.
    The union’s national secretary, John Coombs, told DCN he was particularly incensed by a recent memo, allegedly written by one of Patrick’s directors, Bill Clayton, to regional managers.
    The memo makes the point, among other issues, that the threat of litigation has not yet been removed and "we need to go quietly until that occurs."
    "Additionally we need the federal MUA to have every chance of signing off on the agreements without difficulties from their branch or delegates/members," the memo, a copy of which has been obtained by DCN, continues.
  • ACCC denies it’s "soft"
    THE AUSTRALIAN Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) has denied claims by the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) that it has been "soft" on the shipping industry.
    The chairman of the ACCC, Professor Allan Fels, said that, in fact, it has been widely acknowledged that the consumer watchdog has been extremely vigorous in applying the Trade Practices Act to break-up price fixing and other cartel agreements; the abuse of market power by monopolists; anti-competitive mergers; misleading and deceptive conduct; and unconscionable conduct affecting small business and consumers.
    "It has applied the law without fear or favour to the biggest and most powerful corporations and interests in the land," Professor Fels said.
