  • "La liberté de cabotage ne changera rien au marché européen"
    La libéralisation du cabotage routier en Europe, c'est pour dans 97 jours. "Doit-on en avoir peur ou en tirer parti?". Tel était la question posée lors d'un des débats à la SITL à Paris. La conclusion unanime a été que la question, en fait, ne se posera pas: le cabotage restera un phénomène marginal, qui ne changera en presque rien les conditions du marché européen du transport. La création de filiales locales sera plus adéquate pour aborder des marchés nationaux. Un intervenant ira même plus loin: "Les hommes politiques qui voient dans le cabotage la possibilité de réduire les trajets à vide doivent arrêter de se voiler la face. Il est temps d'enlever les fausses barbes!".

Ce qui est particulier dans cette naissance, c'est qu'il s'agit d'un commissionnaire en transport/transitaire de Marseille, qui a décidé de s'implanter dans la zone portuaire anversoise animé du souci de se positionner sur la scène internationale. Il le fait dans le cadre d'une joint-venture avec un expéditeur anversois, la firme Contraco, qui y participe à raison de 30%.
  • UE: les négociations sur le transit suisse et l'Eurovignette dans l'impasse

  • Patrick puts workers off-pay
    The waterfront situation deteriorated again yesterday when Patrick said that the Workplace Relations Act prohibited if from paying wages to its waterfront workers until overtime bans were lifted.
    The stevedore also disclosed a dramatic slump in productivity, with crane movements at Port Botany allegedly dropping as low as 10 movements per hour.
  • Engineers tie up Brambles over shares
    A dispute between Brambles Shipping and the Australian Institute of Marine & Power Engineers over the allocation of the share windfall resulting from the AMP
    de-mutualisation has erupted again, stranding two Brambles ships in Melbourne and Hobart indefinitely.
    In a bid to cut the stoppage short, Brambles Shipping has applied to the Australia Industrial Relations Commission for a hearing under section 127 of the Workplace Relations act.
  • All casual crew for Wellington

  • Wharfies, farmers get warm and fuzzy
    Western Australian wharfies pitted their respective multiskills on the state's rural community this week when they tried their hands at sheepshearing, pasture management and general farm handy work.
    The scheme was part of a Maritime Union of Australia campaign to forge a stronger empathy between the union and the state's Pastoralists and Grazier's Association.
  • POAL escapes power shock
    Ports of Auckland chairman Sir Richard Carter has written to shareholders to advise that the port's prompt response to the city's electricity crisis will minimise the financial impact on the company.
