  • Le transport maritime bientôt victime de commandes spéculatives?
    La crise financière que traverse l'Asie, qui s'est traduite par une forte dévaluation des diverses devises, risque d'avoir de graves conséquences pour l'industrie du transport maritime en général. Il ne s'agit pas d'attirer l'attention sur les déséquilibres croissants des trafics maritimes avec les pays asiatiques concernés, situation qui coûte beaucoup d'argent aux armements, mais d'évoquer la perspective d'une situation plus grave encore, à savoir la création de surcapacités dans divers domaines du shipping. Le spectre des commandes speculatives se profile à l'horizon.
  • KLLM augmente le salaire de base des chauffeurs de 20%

Cette décision a dû être prise suite à la pénurie de chauffeurs dans l'industrie américaine du trucking, surtout dans les transports sur longues distances. L'augmentation salariale est destinée à attirer - et à conserver - des chauffeurs qualifiés.
  • Le groupe Pakhoed note un bénéfice record au premier semestre

Environ trois quarts des revenus proviennent d'activités en relation avec l'industrie chimique. La crise en Asie n'a pas eu d'influence négative sur les activités du groupe.
  • La dévaluation du rouble aura un impact négatif sur les ports d'Europe du Nord
    Le "Niet" de Boris Jeltsin n'aura guère pesé dans la balance: le rouble est dévalué. De combien? Au moment de mettre sous presse, nous attendions toujours des précisions à ce sujet. Ce mardi matin, le cours officiel était toujours de 6,43 roubles pour un dollar et la Banque centrale maintenait officiellement ce taux Officieusement, on avançait le taux de 9,2 roubles pour un dollar. La nouvelle parité du rouble évoluera probablement dans cette marge. Sur le plan pratique, les autorités financières russes ont annoncé un gel des dettes étrangères pendant 3 mois. Ainsi sont partis en fumée les 22 mia. de dollars que la communauté internationale avait débloqués il y a un mois à peine pour soutenir le rouble... En fait, la Russie est indirectement entraînée dans le sillage de la crise financière asiatique.

  • Patrick, MUA lock horns again
    PATRICK and the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) were yesterday locked in discussions on the company's new enterprise agreement which holds the key to the stevedore's future.
    It is understood that just under a dozen issues remain unresolved, although industry sources claimed yesterday that they are quite capable of being settled.
    The issues can be settled, the source said, although the MUA finds it difficult to deal with the fact that it has no supporting evidence for its position in the discussions.
    The national secretary of the MUA, John Coombs, told DCN last week that the negotiations have hit a brick wall with the union being the only party prepared to make concessions.
  • P&O replaces seafarers
    THE DECISION by P&O Nedlloyd to replace its British and New Zealand ratings on board 19 containerships with cheaper Filipino seamen will not be taken "lying down" according to the president of the Seafarers' Union of New Zealand, Dave Morgan.
    Mr Morgan told DCN from New Zealand yesterday that he will be travelling to England at the end of this month on other business and will raise the issue with his British counterparts.
    Any response will be worked out jointly by the two unions, he said.
    Apart from that, Mr Morgan said he had no other comment to the news which had just been received from London.
    About 30 New Zealand seafarers will be affected.
    British seafarers will be significantly worse off with up to 300 jobs going from the 19 P&O owned containerships.
  • OOIL in troubled waters
    ORIENT Overseas (International) Ltd, the parent company of Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL), has announced a loss after taxation of US$14.6 million for the six months ended 30 June.
    This compared with a profit of US$9.1 million in the corresponding period in 1997.
    The loss after taxation included exceptional losses of US$3 described as "re-organisational cost" for rationalisation of the agency offices in United States and a charge incurred as a result of shifting from Global Alliance to Grand Alliance.
    No exceptional item was recorded in the same period of 1997.
    "The interim operating loss for 1998, while expected, is our first since 1993 and is the result of three major events," OOIL chairman and chief executive officer, C C Tung, said.
