  • MUA gets undertaking on bulker
    The Maritime Union of Australia has received undertakings on the future employment of the former coastal bulk carrier, the Sandra Marie.
    The union’s deputy national secretary, Paddy Crumlin, told DCN yesterday that he has contacted the vessel’s operators, Intercontinental Ship Management and been advised that it was not the intention of the company to employ her in a dedicated trans-Tasman service.
    The former Australian-registered vessel has been re-registered in Tonga and now carries a crew of Australian officers and Tongan ratings.
    The Australian officers are to be replaced shortly with New Zealand and Tongan personnel.
  • Austrac starts scheduled interstate trains
    Junee-based privately-owned railway operator Austrac is adopting an expansionist policy as it explores the new rail access regime, targeting a range of projects.
    Today, Austrac completes its second week of running regularly scheduled Sydney-Melbourne and Melbourne-Sydney freight trains, scheduling six nights a week in both directions.
    Next week it will firm up arrangements for leasing space at southern Sydney’s Cooks River rail terminal complex, which will also become its national headquarters.
    Next month other major developments in the pipeline could come to light, ranging from new 250TEU rail/road intermodal hubs at Griffith and Moree, to involvement in the Hunter Valley coal supply chain where the company has a substantial investment in facilities.
  • UPS in giant freighter order
    Express freight giant United Parcel Service has announced it is buying a fleet of 60 freighter aircraft from Airbus Industrie in a deal valued up to $US5 billion ($A8.55 billion).
    The massive deal with Airbus -- believed to be the biggest ever order for freighter aircraft - was announced yesterday at Farnborough International ’98, the air show outside London.
    Kentucky-based UPS has placed a firm order for 30 A300F4-600R aircraft, with options for an additional 30. It is the first time UPS has selected planes from Airbus. Deliveries will begin in mid-2000.
    "The decision to commit now to such dramatic growth of our airline reflects our confidence in this company’s future, both in the United States and abroad," UPS said in a statement, adding the aircraft would be used to augment, and not replace, other aircraft in its 200-strong fleet.
  • NR sale on hold as shareholders bicker
    The planned privatisation of National Rail appears almost certain to be delayed until next year, with no end in sight to the protracted dispute between the rail operator’s three government shareholders over the transfer of key assets.
    The formal arbitration process, aimed at resolving the outstanding issues to allow the long-awaited sale to finally proceed, has stalled as the federal government’s attention and efforts has been directed solely at the looming election.
    It was revealed in July that the commonwealth and NSW governments had instigated a process of formal arbitration in order to resolve the last remaining sticking points encountered in protracted negotiations with Victoria over the sale of NR.

  • Big John turns his back on the stock market

The revelation comes as Fredriksen has also launched an attack on operators planning to keep their VLCCs trading beyond 25 years of age.

  • The stock market took investors and transport companies for a roller coaster ride again last week, as the Dow Jones Industrial Index zoomed up one day only to fall back the next. Transport stocks have been on a slippery slope all year, despite increased demand and low fuel prices. That's beginning to leech profits away from major carriers. And analysts aren't sure if transport stocks - which have underperformed the market - have hit bottom. If slowdown becomes recession, transport stocks could drop another 10 percent, one transportation analyst said. The good news: this is a great time to buy transportation stocks.
  • The Surface Transportation Board is threatening to revoke the railroads industry's privilege of asserting product and geographic competition as a defense against rate challenges by shippers. This follows extensive discovery demands by Union Pacific as part of a rate reasonableness complaint by shipper FMC Corp. FMC termed UP's discovery request an abuse of legal procedure and STB agreed in sharply limiting UP's access to FMC business documents. UP tries to "drive shippers crazy with overreaching discovery," said FMC attorney Ed Greenberg.
  • Shippers are applauding a Department of Transportation recommendation that the full liability standard provided by the Carmack Amendment remain in effect. The DOT report recommends the current system of full value recovery with flexibility to vary liability by released rates or contract stay in place until shippers and the motor carrier industry can agree on an alternative liability procedure. Some shippers say they would be satisfied with a maximum dollar value of between $30 and $50 per pound for most shipments, but truckers appear unwilling to set limits that high in their quest to avoid catastrophic damage claims.
  • A month after UP's last system cutover to link the former Southern Pacific to its system, railroads and shippers in central California are still reeling from the effects. Those effects are familiar to those doing business with UP over the last year: service disruptions due to lost cars, shipper shutdowns and loss of potential business. The good news is that shippers have been seeing some improvement, and that the railroad's recent move to decentralize its operations may make a big difference. The bad news is, as was the case in Houston, getting back to normal may take a while.
  • Airbus wins. After two years of exhaustive research, study, negotiation and price haggling, UPS decided to go against its grain of an all-Boeing fleet and ordered up to 60 new Airbus A300-600s. The new aircraft, which will start entering the fleet in mid-2000, are expected to be used mostly in the U.S. domestic market. The domestic market over the next several years will see a lot of new capacity from all of the integrated carriers, all of whom are banking on continued growth in the intra-U.S. market to fuel their individual growth plans and capital expenses. How the market will absorb all this new capacity is up for debate.
  • A few months after many of the world's top port players came in with sizable bids for the Tecon container terminal in Santos, Brazil, the country was able to garner only a single bidder for Sepetiba, its future super port. Steelmaker Companhia Siderurgica Nacional picked up the terminal for $78 million, the minimum concession requirement. Labor disputes and the world financial crisis were cited as the reasons behind the low turnout for the property. And even though Sepetiba has been touted by both private companies and the Brazilian government as having the potential to compete with other Brazilian ports, Santos remains a safer bet for now.
  • Technology was the password and compliance the buzz-word at AUTO-TECH '98 in Detroit, the annual gathering of automotive industry suppliers. Last December the Big Three U.S. automakers informed suppliers of their intent to make electronic data interchange a requirement for doing business with them. The Automotive Industry Action Group, the trade group for auto industry suppliers, has developed the Automotive Network eXchange (ANX) to address electronic data interchange.
  • Optum Software will release two new software applications next week, ResponseNet and ResponseCenter, integrating a company's various software systems and its "demand centers." ResponseCenter will give users the ability to view inventory across the supply chain in real time from all distribution centers, whether at the center or on the road. In addition, the applications run with a standard API, giving customers the option of using the software with other companies' warehouse management or transportation software.
  • A tight container supply is expected to become tighter as the weak Asian economy has industry observers forecasting a long-term impact on the North American intermodal business. An early influx of holiday season imports, possibly caused by importers looking to beat rate increases and better planning to avoid last year's problems, is exacerbating the situation. To deal with an imbalanced transportation flow, steamship lines are looking to short-stop international containers at West Coast ports by unloading cargo into domestic containers and trucks, allowing for a quick return of international boxes to Asia.
