  • P&ONL insiste toujours pour avoir son propre terminal à Rotterdam
    Lors d'une conférence de presse téléphonique, Tim Harris GCE de l'armement P&ONL a laisé entendre qu'il tablait sur une forte croissance du volume pendant le second trimestre, qui dépasserait les 600.000 TEU transportés pendant le dernier trimestre de 97. Par contre, il a fait preuve de discrétion en ce qui concerne la situation des taux sur la route Europe-Asie et retour, estimant qu'il était trop tôt pour prédire que le raffermissement des prix westbound serait suffisant pour relever le niveau du revenu moyen par TEU. Quant aux taux EB, ils étaient toujours à la baisse.
  • "La rigidité des structures portuaires freine la croissance du shortsea"
    "Les nouveaux concepts de shortsea et de cabotage préconisés par la Commission européenne ne pouront être définitivement appliqués que lorsque les ports méditerranéens et d'Europe du Nord seront exploités d'une manière différente." C'est ce qu'a declaré Emanuele Grimaldi, le managing director du groupe napolitain du même nom, lors de la conférence roro98 à Göteborg. Un point de vue partagé par de nombreux acteurs du secteur.

A tel titre que pour la première fois, elle va débourser un dividende de 103 mio. de DEM à son actionnaire (le gouvernement allemand), grâce à un bond de son bénéfice d'exploitation, qui est passé de 576 mio. de DEM en 1996 à 752 mio. de DEM l'année passée. La DP est une société anonyme (AG) depuis trois ans.
  • Le Parlement européen veut réduire les compétences du comité de transport sous douane
    Le Parlement européen a approuvé à Strasbourg mercredi in extenso le rapport de Karla Peijs de la commission parlementaire 'affaires économiques et monétaires et de politique industrielle. L'année dernière, une enquête parlementaire avait démontré que le contrôle du transport de transit laisse à désirer et donne lieu à une vaste fraude. Le rapport Peijs a trait à la proposition de la Commission européenne visant à améliorer le contrôle sur le transport de transit au sein de l'UE grâce à un programme d'action basé sur trois piliers, à savoir l'adaptation de la législation, une meilleure coopération entre les Etats-membres (Douane 2000) et l'automatisation du contrôle douanier (NCTS).

  • A third of the House Rail Subcommittee's members are expected to co-sponsor legislation to reverse the Surface Transportation Board's bottleneck decision. Similar to legislation previously introduced in the Senate, these bills are not expected to pass this session of Congress. Shippers, however, see them as a prelude to more successful efforts next year before the 106th Congress.
  • In this election year, lawmakers wanting to deliver to voters an ISTEA reauthorization bill containing some $217 billion in new highway and transit spending are bedeviled by a previously agreed to budget agreement. Under that promise, each additional dollar in spending must be accompanied by an equivalent spending reduction. Since proposed ISTEA spending exceeds budget caps by some $30 billion, other programs must be cut by that amount if ISTEA is not to be thinned down.
  • California truckers are in a quandary over the future of diesel fuel in the Golden State. The state attorney general and environmental groups have sued four large California grocery chains' distribution centers, contending diesel exhaust presents a health risk. California truckers already pay the highest fuel costs in the nation for the cleanest diesel. They question the Catch-22 logic that allows them to be sued for using fuel mandated by the state's air quality board.
  • In exchange for gaining direct access to some 400,000 new container loads at the Port of New York and New Jersey's Howland Hook Marine Terminal, CSX and NS agreed to extend their northern New Jersey shared-assets area. In the process they will jointly operate the previously abandoned seven-mile Staten Island Railroad.
  • Some U.S. ports take umbrage at the GAO findings that fruit imports are unsafe. Philadelphia is one such port that says it has taken extra measures to ensure the safe transit of fruit. Much of the safety has to do with where the fruit is coming from and how established the trade lane is. The U.S. has been importing grapes from Chile for decades. Philadelphia and its Chilean counterparts have a long-term partnership based on investment and labor practices not found in many other places.
  • UPS ended the second quarter with the highest return on its international operation in history, a $34.5 million net profit. Last year the company lost nearly as much in the same quarter. The picture is not so bright on the domestic side. Shipment levels for ground parcel deliveries are still lagging 4 percent behind prestrike levels and the company is determined to regain that business. Guaranteed Ground, the commercial money-back guarantee introduced on May 4, is part of that plan.
  • Daimler Benz and Chrysler plan to leverage their logistics know-how to bring new-found benefits to the soon-to-be-joined automotive giants. While Mercedes' strength is in world-class design and technology, Chrysler excels at building cars fast and with an eye on cost. The joined companies will find ways to benefit from each other's strengths when introducing a new vehicle or entering a new market. How to capitalize on the burgeoning middle class in Asia will be part of the new company's focus.
  • Emery Worldwide is stepping up its $70 million plan to reengineer its information systems around the globe. The CNF Transportation subsidiary last week said it would deploy 3,000 next-generation dual-radio mobile computers in pickup and delivery trucks. The mobile computers are PTC-1124 pen-based handheld computers from Telxon Corp., Akron, Ohio. The PTC-1124s will replace Telxon PTC-620 handheld computers, which have been used by Emery drivers for the past 12 years.
  • Logistics planning can make a difference in a company's growth and bottom line. That was the message at the recent meeting of the Canadian Association of Logistics Management. General Motors and Nestle Canada highlighted their successful, albeit different logistics strategies. GM has outsourced nearly all its logistics work to third parties, while Nestle has refined its operations by bringing back in-house functions previously contracted out. Both have been able to achieve much greater global market penetration thanks to the emphasis on transportation planning.
