  • La relève de la TACA ne semble pas garantie
    Il devient de plus en plus évident que les jours de la conférence TACA sont comptés, mais son remplacement semble assez difficile. Il est question aujourd'hui de la création d'une sorte d'association qui se substituerait à ladite conférence. Vingt deux armements opérant sur l'Atlantique se sont une fois de plus réunis tout récemment à Londres cette fois pour faire le point au sujet de cette perspective que certains soutiennent, alors que d'autres adoptent une attitude de prudente réserve, où encore participent aux discussions par simple curiosité. Comme de coutume Evergreen était absent.
  • Premier pas vers une concertation entre ports maritimes et autorités fédérales
    La commission parlementaire compétente a approuvé la proposition de loi de Jos Ansoms et Jozef Van Eetvelt (CVP') concernant la création d'une concertation portuaire au niveau fédéral mardi dernier. La proposition pourrait être approuvée par l'assemblée plénière de la Chambre au cours de la première moitié de janvier. Si le décret d'application ne se fait pas trop longtemps attendre, la concertation pourrait débuter à Pâques. C'est ce qu'annonce un communiqué. L'objectif est de créér un dialogue direct entre les autorités fédérales et les ports maritimes (Anvers, Gand, Zeebrugge, Ostende, Liège et Bruxelles) en ce qui concerne les dossiers pour lesquels ces ports ne peuvent s'adresser aux instances régionales, qui sont compétentes pour l'infrastructure portuaire.
  • AEL au départ d'Anvers en conventionnel vers la COA

En fait, il s'agira de l'inauguration d'un service complet étant donné que l'opérateur assurait déjà des voyages northbound avec des navires affrétés "trip out". La fréquence sera d'un départ par mois dans un premier stade.
  • Le conseil communal de Rotterdam favorable à une participation dans ECT
    Les opposants à une participation dans Europe Combined Terminals au sein du conseil communal ne devraient pas pouvoir empêcher une participation rotterdamoise dans l'entreprise de transbordement de containers. Le conseil communal, qui se penche sur le dossier aujourd'hui, devrait approuver la proposition des échevins de prendre une participation de 30% dans ECT. Si la proposition ne fait pas l'unanimité au sein du collège des échevins, l'importance que revête ECT pour l'économie régionale devrait néanmoins faire la différence. La participation dans ECT doit permettre à la commune de développer une stratégie offensive ensemble avec Hutchison Port Holding, ce qui devrait par exemple se traduire par des investissements dans des terminaux dans l'hinterland de Rotterdam.

  • Ming Mercy fire report released
    "AMATEUR" wiring extensions are suspected of causing the accommodation fire aboard the Taiwanese bulk carrier Ming Mercy off Port Kembla in August 1997.
    The fire was eventually brought under control with the assistance of the New South Wales Fire Brigade, members of which were ferried to the vessel by tug and helicopters.
    The forward end of the lower and upper bridge decks of the Ming Mercy, owned by Yang Ming Line, was severely damaged by the fire.
    The bridge suffered extensive smoke damage and buckling of the steel deck.
    All navigation, control and communications equipment was rendered unserviceable through damage to electrical cables in the decks beneath.
  • Unusual events led to ferry grounding
    "AN unusual combination of events" has been blamed for the grounding off Middle Head of the Sydney harbour ferry Narrabeen in September.
    Details of the official investigation into the grounding were released by the New South Wales Minister for Ports, Kim Yeadon.
    "A number of related factors contributed to the grounding including the prevailing swell, low tidal height and wind conditions combined with the presence of other vessels in the transit area," Mr Yeadon said.
    "These conditions certainly tested all organisations involved and we have learnt a lot from this incident.
    "To ensure this type of incident is not repeated, the Waterways Authority will be putting in place a plan of action so future events of this kind are more lightly co-ordinated between the agencies involved."
  • Norwegian Star shines brightly
    NORWEGIAN Capricorn Line's Norwegian Star, which arrives in Sydney tomorrow, has already sold out her first two cruises.
    Described as the only four star cruiseship in the South Pacific, the vessel will be officially welcomed to Australia and Sydney, where she will be based, by the New South Wales Minister for Tourism, Bob Debus.
    Featuring Australian hotel staff, food, wine and entertainment, the Norwegian Star will facilitate a boost to domestic tourism.
    The managing director of Norwegian Capricorn Line, Sarina Bratton, said passenger interest in the vessel has been excellent.
  • Miners return to work
    ALL coalminers have returned to work following the strike called to protest a reduction in prices paid for Australian coal, the coalminers union said yesterday.
    Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) barrister Wayne Haylen, QC, said as far as he was aware all miners had abided by the Federal Court's temporary injunction which prevented the union taking further industrial action.
    Mr Haylen had headed an appeal in the Australian Industrial Relations Commission
    against an earlier decision which found the strike was in breach of industrial laws and
    further industrial action should cease.
    The CFMEU and its officials face potential heavy fines and jail terms if they are found to
    have breached secondary boycott and other provisions of the Workplace Relations Act.
    A barrister for the mine employers, Adrian Morris, said the industrial action had had a
    massive economic impact on mines in Queensland and New South Wales.
    "The order should be left in place," Mr Morris said.
    "The main reason is that the union wont be able to take further unprotected action."
    The strike brought multiple hearings in the Commission, the Supreme Court and the Federal Court.
