  • Grain drop hits V/Line Freight result
    THE soon-to-be-privatised V/Line Freight Corporation suffered an 18 per cent fall in revenue in 1997-98 after a 50 per cent drop in export grain traffic during the year.
    According to the corporation's first annual report, V/Line Freight finished its first trading year with lower freight revenues of about $100 million for the 1997-98 year and an operating deficit of $15.3 million.
    The results, which were tabled in Victoria's parliament last week, came as the state government prepares to cull its list of private groups bidding for the loss-making business. Final bids from shortlisted consortia for V/Line Freight are expected to be made in coming weeks, with a preferred bidder expected to be announced in late January.
  • Fuel slug holds back NR
    National Rail productivity levels -- once an area of regular criticism by its customers -- were now at or close to international best practice in several areas, according to an independent study by its external auditors Ernst & Young.

    The study also found that NR labor was only 28 per cent of total costs (taking into account employees of outsourced contractors) compared with 33 per cent for US railroads.
  • Austal scores third French contract
    Austal Ships has won a third contract to supply a vessel to French maritime group, Compagnie Chambon.
    The WA-based shipbuilder will supply a 60-metre luxury cruise catamaran, due for delivery in October, to Rivages Croisieres.
    Rivages Croisieres is a sister company to L'Express Des Iles, Chambon's French Caribbean fast ferry operation which already operates one 48-metre Austal car ferry and will take delivery of a 40-metre passenger catamaran at the end of the year.
    The vessel will be named Rivage St Martin and it will operate from the French Caribbean island of St Martin and will be used for nine-day coastal cruises.
  • VTA future uncertain
    The long-term future of VicTrack Access, which only took over ownership and management of Victoria's entire non-electrified rail network in July last year, remains uncertain.
    The access authority said in its first annual report, which was tabled in state parliament last week, that it expected to transfer the majority of its responsibilities to other bodies by the end of 1998-99. This would result in an 80 per cent reduction in the corporation's staff.
    VicTrack recently transferred ownership and responsibility of the state's interstate rail network to the Australian Rail Track Corporation for five years. According to the report, VicTrack will continue to provide asset management and train management services to the ARTC in the short term.
  • Wisconsin falls on 'foreign' results
    US-based rail giant Wisconsin Central, which holds a 33 per cent stake in Australian Transport Network and a 24 per cent stake in Tranz Rail, has blamed the poor overall performance of its foreign entities for a 9.3 per cent fall in the group's net income for the third quarter of 1998.
    According to the results, Wisconsin reported net income of $US19.4 million ($A30.79 million) for the third quarter of 1998, a decrease of $US2.0 million, or 9.3 per cent, from the third quarter of 1997.
    The third quarter results included record North American operating revenues and record income from North American operations, but were offset by reductions in the company's equity in net income of foreign affiliates.
