  • FEFC to Seek Eastbound Rate Stabilization
    The Far Eastern Freight Conference (FEFC) carriers will meet in Singapore on September 9 to discuss eastbound and westbound rate recovery. Top on the agenda will be stabilization of eastbound rate levels.
    Eastbound container shipments from Europe to Asia have drastically dropped since the Asian crisis, marking a striking contrast with buoyant westbound cargo traffic. The imbalance is bigger than ever, with as much as 60% use of the capacity eastbound and nearly 100% utilization westbound, carrier sources said.
    At the Singapore meeting, the conference will work out effective means to recover declining eastbound rates.
  • Cosco, 'K' Line, Yangming Upgrade Trans-Atlantic Services
    China Ocean Shipping (Group) Co. (Cosco), Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha ("K" Line) and Yangming Marine Transport are upgrading their four-ship transatlantic service to nine ships, with each carrier providing three.
    The vessels will be deployed in two loops, four ships covering the North Atlantic and five in the South Atlantic and Gulf. The new service setup will commence as from the first week in October.
    The North Atlantic port rotation will be Antwerp, Felixstowe, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam, Le Havre, New York (westbound), Baltimore, Norfolk, New York (eastbound), Halifax, Antwerp.
    The South Atlantic and Gulf rotation will be Antwerp (eastbound), Felixstowe, Rotterdam, Bremerhaven, Antwerp (westbound), Le Havre, Charleston (westbound), Miami, New Orleans, Houston, Charleston (eastbound), Antwerp.
    Miami will serve as the transshipment point to the Caribbean market and Houston and New Orleans will be used as connecting ports for minibridge services to the U.S. West Coast and service to and from Mexico.
  • MOL Subsidiaries Achieve ISO 9002 for PCC Operations
    Mitsui O.S.K. Lines 100% owned subsidiaries in the U.S. and Europe have attained ISO 9002 certification in the area of pure car carrier (PCC) operations. Those certificates have been awarded by Det Norske Veritas Certification, Inc. for New Jersey-based Mitsui O.S.K. Bulk Shipping (USA) Inc. and by National Quality Assurance Limited for London-based Mitsui O.S.K. Bulk Shipping (Europe) Ltd.
    MOL's Tokyo headquarters had achieved the international quality and management standard for the operation of car carriers on June 29, 1998.
  • Nam Sung to Begin Regular Call at Onahama
    Nam Sung Shipping will start a weekly fixed-day service between Onahama, Fukushima Prefecture and South Korean ports. Nam Sung will be the second carrier that makes a regular call at the port. Taiwan's Uniglory had previously decided to service the port for its Japan/Indonesia service from September.
    The news service will begin early September, deploying two 88-TEU containerships, the Sea Hope and the Sea Unix. The port rotation will be Busan, Onahama, Yokohama and Busan.
    Cargoes for Chinese ports of Xingang, Shanghai, Dalian and Qingdao will be transshipped at Busan.
  • Congestion at Chennai Improved
    Congestion at Chennai (ex-Madras) has been eased and the berthing situation is returning normal.
    At Chennai, vessels had to wait more than ten days for berthing at the peak time, but berthing delay is now no more than one to two days. In view of the improved berthing conditions, feeder service operators serving the trade between Singapore and Chennai abolished on August 11 the congestion surcharge of $100 per 20-foot container, which was introduced on July 1 in an attempt for the carriers to recover additional costs incurred by the congestion.

  • Engineers flag ANL sale doubts
    UNION tensions have surfaced over the sale of ANL Ltd, with the increasingly volatile Australian Institute of Marine and Power Engineers sounding a warning over the planned sale to Compagnie Generale Maritime.
    The federal secretary of the institute, Henning Christiansen, told DCN yesterday that as far as he could see the current sale arrangements to CGM were no better than those advocated by P&O.
    Marine engineers approved the sale of the national carrier to P&O, but it fell through after being opposed by the Australian Council of Trade Unions and the Maritime Union of Australia.
  • Pappaconstuntinos resigns, Slater stricken
