  • OOCL: bénéfice 97 en baisse malgré une hausse des volumes
    "Le résultat de l'exercice 97, attendu à la baisse, a été décevant." Telle est la conclusion marquante du rapport annuel du groupe Orient Overseas (International) Ltd (OOCL). Le bénéfice après impôts est tombé de 107,2 à 24,2 millions d'USD (-77%), tandis que le bénéfice opérationnel après financement et postes exceptionnels est tombé de 56,9 à 3,7 mio. de dollars. En outre, le bénéfice après impôts comprend un montant de 23,2 mio. d'USD généré essentiellement par la vente de navires. Par contre, le chiffre d'affaires est passé de 1,88 à 1, 89 milliard d'USD. Cette légère augmentation résulte d'un accroissement du volume transporté, des revenus du côté des terminaux et de l'introduction de plus grands navires.
  • Anvers au cœur des priorités de la SNCB
    Quand on demande à Antoine Martens, administrateur-directeur général adjoint de la SNCB, que nous avons rencontré lors de la 8e WCTR, quels sont les projets prioritaires de la SNCB à propos d'Anvers, on a vraiment l'impression que tous le sont: l'achèvement de la modernisation de la gare de triage d'Anvers-Nord, le Main Hub pour le transport combiné, le deuxième accès ferroviaire au port d'Anvers, les développements à la Rive gauche, le Rhin d'Acier, le tunnel sous l'Escaut. Seul ce dernier investissement, qui représente au bas mot 14 milliards de BEF, n'est inscrit à aucun budget et ne figure dans aucun plan d'investissement. Et pourtant...

  • Parkes plan crash-lands
    Bold development plans for a dedicated international freight airport at Parkes in NSW's central west appear to be in tatters after the federal government this week virtually ruled out any funding for the proposal.
    Transport Minister Mark Vaile applauded the enthusiasm of the project's backers, the Inland Marketing Corporation, which has been lobbying for state and federal government funding since 1995, but said it would add to freight costs, not reduce them.
    Mr Vaile's comments after the release of an independent report which found that the proposed regional freight hub at Parkes was not viable without significant government funding to compete against existing airfreight services.
  • Intercontinental hopes rest on meeting with AIMPE
    The Intercontinental group was yesterday hoping that a meeting with representatives of the Australian Institute of Marine and Power Engineers might resolve the dispute which is holding up three of the company's vessels.
    The row, over the manning of the coastal bulk carrier Sandra Marie, has led not only to her mothballing, but also to industrial action affecting the Portland off Bunbury and the Lindesay Clark in Geelong.
    The matter has already been before the Australian Industrial Relations Commission but is not expected to return there, at least not in the short term.
  • Eureka: We're back in the bulk business
    The 'faithful' crew from beleaguered Western Bulk Shipping have risen from the ashes as the wholly Australian owned Eureka Bulk Shipping, and have set up their operating base in Kew, Melbourne.
    The new company is headed up by Tomm Paulsen (previously managing diretcor for Western Bulk in Australia). Three former Western colleagues have gone with him, Andrew Kitchen (former WBS chartering manager), Don McNeil (former WBS operations manager) and Jim Jeffers (former WBS company secretary and accounting manager).
    Eureka has a management contract with Eastern Bulk Shipping, formed in Norway by Otto Tidemand Jr, and the Eureka office in Melbourne will be Eastern's only operating office.
    Otto Tidemand Jr has been setting up his own bulk operation since late last year, when he said that the new operation would be an operation of the same dimensions as WBS.
  • Union questions govt's safety commitment
    The federal government has been accused of undermining improvements in the maritime industry.
    In a submission to the Ships of Shame inquiry, Maritime Union of Australia national secretary John Coombs said if safety was an objective for Australia as a flag state, then the country "must lift its game".
    Mr Coombs said the Australian maritime industry could not be viewed in isolation.
    "Globalisation," he said, "is a key concept which is highly relevant to the industry. Despite the strengthening of public and private sector regulation many operators continue to evade regulation with sub-standard ships in a bid to save running costs.
    "Flag of convenience states (FOC) are on the rise with vessels from these states accounting for over half of all absolute vessel losses in 1996."
