  • NRTC hints at charges backdown
    The National Road Transport Commission has hinted for the first time it could water down its proposed revamp of registration charges for heavy vehicles, admitting this week that some of the data used for calculating the revised charges may be outdated or flawed.
    The draft proposals, which were released in August to a chorus of opposition, have been widely criticised and rejected by the trucking industry and most state governments, as well as the Minister for Transport, Mark Vaile.
    While the commission's current proposals would involve no change to charges for about 80 per cent of Australia's heavy vehicles over 4.5 tonnes, operators of Australia's heaviest vehicles -- semi-trailers, B-doubles and roadtrains -- face a charges hike of up to 40 per cent.

    Kvaerner ASA ousted chief executive Erik Toenseth on Wednesday following a year-long plummet of the international group's stock price plummet. Kvaerner, hard hit by economic downturns in Asia and weak oil prices, said its overall course was unchanged. But it would accelerate efforts to consider sales of non-core assets and focus on managing the firm rather than expanding. Rumors are running rampant as to who will follow Toenseth in the top spot, with unconfirmed speculation pointing at Kjell Almskog, a head of Swiss/Swedish electrical engineering group ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd.

  • Caterpillar CEO To Retire In 1999

  • Sea Launch Delays First Mission
    Delayed by political wranglings, it appears that Sea Launch, the satellite launch venture led by Boeing Co., has delayed its first commercial launch until sometime after March 1999. Sea Launch, which initially had planned its first commercial launch for November 1998, remains on track for its current schedule of two launches in 1999, the spokeswoman said. The program has firm commitments to launch 18 satellites through 2004, including 13 for Hughes. Work on the Sea Launch was halted over the summer by State Department concerns that Boeing had violated U.S. arms control laws by transferring military technology to its commercial partners in Russia and Ukraine.
  • Panama Canal Toll Collections Up
    The Panama Canal collected $545.7 million in revenue during fiscal 1998, surpassing the previous year's earnings by $52.1 million, the Panama Canal Commission (PCC) reported.
