  • Anvers: les terminaux dédiés suscitent des réticences
    "Le concept des terminaux dédiés peut être valable là où il n'y a rien, mais en ce qui concerne l'Europe de l'Ouest, il devrait y avoir un accord entre ports pour ne pas aller dans cette direction, ou alors cela peut se faire dans le cadre d'une joint-venture avec un partenaire local." R. Restiau, administrateur délégué de l'AGHA, a en quelque sorte donné le ton au débat organisé mercredi à Anvers par Universha, qui avait pour thème "Le rôle croissant de l'armateur dans l'évènement portuaire". Il s'avère que les grands armements dits globaux ont tendance aujourd'hui à assurer eux-mêmes toutes les fonctions qui gravitent autour de la marchandise, soit totalement, soit partiellement. Nous axerons une première partie de notre article sur ce débat sur l'aspect "Terminaux dédiés", étant donné qu'il s'agit d'un sujet d'une brûlante actualité en Europe du Nord. En effet, Rotterdam vient de concéder un terminal dédié à Mærsk Line, tandis que la Ville de Rotterdam entend prendre une participation de 30% dans ECT. A Anvers, l'Entreprise portuaire essaye de louvoyer entre les écueils qui parsèment le chemin à l'octroi des concessions pour les terminaux à containers qui borderont la future darse à marée au sud de Doel.

  • Stolt Sapphire in chemical spill exercise
    THE New South Wales Fire Brigade, Sydney Ports Corporation and Water Police were involved in an exercise on Wednesday night to plan a response to any hazardous material chemical spills into Sydney harbour.
    The exercise scenario involved a proposed spillage of 1,000 litres of lubrizol from a 40,000 dwt chemical parcel tanker, the Stolt Sapphire, into the harbour.
    Six Fire Brigade appliances and a Hazmat "Otter" - an inflatable craft used by the Fire Brigade as a rapid response unit to hazardous material incidents on waterways - were on hand for the exercise at No. 5 Darling Harbour.
    New South Wales Fire Brigade Commissioner, Ian Mac Dougall said his units, along with the Sydney Ports Corporation and the Water Police, played a major role in minimising the impact of hazardous material incidents on Sydney harbour.
  • Encounter Bay "arrested"
    P&O NEDLLOYD does not expect that today's departure of its containership, the Encounter Bay, will be delayed following yesterday's "arrest" by Greenpeace and Basel Action Network (BAN) activists.
    The regional director for Australian and New Zealand of P&O Nedlloyd, Hans Meurs, told DCN yesterday the shipping line had been discussing the action with the activists for some weeks in Europe.
    Mr Meurs said the protesters were allowed on board the vessel as long as they did not disrupt operations.
    The environmental activists declared the vessel "an illegal visitor and part of an international strategy to dump toxic waste in Asia."
    They hung banners reading "P&O Nedlloyd, Stop Toxic Trade" across the ship's bow, confronted the captain with demands for the ship to abide by international law and chained themselves to the Encounter Bay's superstructure and mooring lines.
  • ILWU on its best behaviour
    THE United States District Court has issued a minute order tentatively dismissing the existing complaint filed against the International Longshore Warehouse Union (ILWU) by the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA).
    This follows a drop in the level of industrial action in ports on the west coast of the United States over recent months.
    The suit, filed on 4 September, 1998, sought to curtail ILWU work stoppages at west coast ports.
    The PMA filed the lawsuit against the ILWU after more than 150 work stoppages occurred at west coast ports since the last negotiated contract in July, 1996.
