A. Smeulders (UEA): "L'adaptation de nos conditions générales doit mener à la revalorisation de la profession" "Au sein des organisations professionnelles la coopération doit prévaloir, mais chacun doit garder sa propre identité. Un secrétariat conjoint aux associations professionnelles est concevable, certains dossiers étant identiques, mais il en est d'autres, qui sont strictement de notre ressort". C'est ce qu'a déclaré Annie Smeulders présidente de l'UEA (Union pour l'expédition et la logistique d'Anvers) alors qu'elle occupait la tribune du Propeller Club Port of Antwerp. Les boîtes Stora par barge jusqu'à Düsseldorf? Le système de transport stora entre la Suède et Zeebrugge devrait avoir un prolongement sur le continent. Les parties concernées étudient la possibilité de créer un service fluvial dédié vers Düsseldorf et de retour pour le transport de boîtes Stora. C'est ce qu'a annoncé Michael Gray de Cobelfret Ferries lors de la conférence RoRo98 à Götebeborg. Un tel service offrirait des connexions vers la Ruhr, région qui génère des volumes énormes de cargaisons. Un nombre de questions doivent néanmoins encore être résolues. La suppression anticipée du tour de rôle réclame des mesures Le secteur fluvial belge ne peut pas rester les bras croisés après que le gouvernement néerlandais ait supprimé le système de tour de rôle. C'est ce qu'a déclaré le président de l'Office de la Navigation Willy Claes lors de la présentation du rapport annuel 1997 du service.

P&OP battles MUA over 'lost' contracts P&O Ports denied yesterday that it had agreed to hand over work to a competing stevedore and declared that it would be taking action against those who interfered with its contracts. Director of Australian and New Zealand ports at P&O Ports told DCN he flatly rejected a claim by the South Australian secretary of the Maritime Union of Australia that the company had agreed to hand over the loading of the Handy Althea at Port Adelaide to Sea-Land. Corrigan fights Mr Monopoly Monopoly is the central issue of the dispute between Patrick and the Maritime Union of Australia according to the company's chairman Chris Corrigan. He said the Productivity Commission had estimated the MUA monopoly was costing $100 million a year in poor work practices - a figure he said was underestimated. P&OP defers introduction of off-dock charge P&O Ports has deferred the introduction of an interim off-dock transport fee of $10 per container in Sydney and Melbourne. The fee was to be implemented to meet the costs of transporting containers away from congested wharves. The company did, however, triple storage charges in an attempt to force quicker pick-ups. Govt gets bouquet for railway money The Australasian Railway Association yesterday welcomed the federal government's confirmation of last year's announcement that it would set aside $250 million to upgrade and maintain Australia's inefficient interstate network over the next four years. The Association was particularly pleased with the governments commitment of $35 million for the construction of the grade separation junction at Flemington in Sydney. MIFCo details unveiled The federal government expected to outlay up to $100 million towards waterfront redundancies over the next four years, budget papers show. The money would be repaid through a levy on stevedores of $12 for each container and $6 per vehicle, with revenue expected to be $100 million over our years, thus removing any taxpayer liability.
