  • Sinotrans se profile davantage comme organisation d'expédition
    "Il y a quelques mois, nous avons effectivement eu des pourparlers avec le groupe Cosco en vue d'une fusion. Cela ne s'est pas réalisé, pour différentes raisons. D'une part, les points de vue étaient trop divergents. D'autre part, Cosco est essentiellement un armement, alors que nous nous profilons plus comme organisation d'expédition. Enfin, le gouvernement essaie d'encourager la concurrence entre les entreprises. Or, en fusionnant Sinotrans et Cosco, on créait un groupe géant qui se serait traduit par l'éclosion de situations de monopole", nous a déclaré Mme Tao Suyun, vice-présidente/executive director du groupe China National Foreign Trade Transportation Corp (Sinotrans) lors d'un face-à-face avec les membres de la mission portuaire et maritime anversoise de passage dans son quartier-général de Pékin. Ceci étant, dans certains milieux, on ne cache pas qu'un des obstacles majeurs à cette fusion a été la grande différence de culture entre les deux groupes.

  • Lines flag steep Euro rates rise
    Freight rate increases of up to 16 per cent are expected in the European trade early next year.
    Yesterday, the Australian Peak Shippers Association met representatives of the Australia-New Zealand to Europe Liner Association, in Melbourne, to discuss the freight rate issue.
    The delegation of shipping line executives was led by Contship Containerlines general manager George Patterson.
    The lines are pressing for a general rate increase although, so far, this has never been agreed to by APSA in the eight years of its existence.
  • NCC slams road reform lag
    The implementation of the national road transport reform program has generally continued to fall behind schedule since mid-1997 despite there being some progress in introducing increased mass limits and updating charges for heavy vehicles, according to the National Competition Council.
    In its annual report, the NCC noted that in April this year the Australian Transport Council had agreed to increase general axle mass limits for trucks and buses fitted with road-friendly suspensions, subject to the commonwealth agreeing to provide sufficient additional funding for upgrading bridges -- a move which the NRTC estimated would save $260 million to $300 million even after the cost of bridge upgrades was taken into account.

    The council is then expected to consult members on how best to approach the negotiations.
    Mr Coombs said P&O Ports' plans would be discussed as soon as practicable.
    Nevertheless, it appears that no agreement will be possible until sometime in the new year.

    "Trade growth has exceeded the Corporation's projections back in 1992, particularly for containers which are two years ahead of where we said we would be in 1998," Port of Brisbane Corporation chairman Elizabeth Nosworthy said.

  • CEFOR Warns Of Marine Insurance Losses
    The managing director of Norway's Central Union of Marine Underwriters (CEFOR) warned insurers last week that losses are inevitable in marine insurance this year and premium rates must be raised to reflect exposures. Tore Forsmo, publishing CEFOR's statistics for the Norwegian marine insurance market, said he estimated that Norwegian marine insurers would post an underwriting loss of $83.8 million in 1998, a significant deterioration from the loss of $9.6 million in 1997. Forsmo also predicted further losses of $123.3 million for the Norwegian market in 1999, representing a total loss ratio (the ratio of claims to premiums) of 158 percent.

    A Swedish government-sponsored committee last week urged the recovery of bodies from the ferry Estonia which sank in the Baltic Sea in 1994. Of the 852 who died, 757 are still missing, the Analysis Group for the Inspection of the Estonia Disaster said.   The 15,600 ton Estonia sank after a bow door broke away in a storm and the huge car deck was flooded while it was en route from Tallinn, Estonia, to Stockholm. Only 95 people out of 989 survived, making it Europe's worst maritime disaster since World War II.
  • ISU Mulls Rules To Simplify Casualty Comp
    Proposals to simplify compensation for the salvage of marine casualties where there is a high risk of pollution but low likely payment have been backed by a group of major ship salvage companies.  The International Salvage Union (ISU) said its members have endorsed proposals to introduce a special compensation protection and indemnity (P&I) clause (SCOPIC) which will help salvors respond to casualties where there is little prospect of reward on a traditional no cure-no pay basis.
