  • La crise asiatique affecte les résultats de P&O Nedlloyd
    La crise économique asiatique continue à peser sur les résultats du groupe maritime P&O Nedlloyd.

Le groupe ne s'attend pas à une solution rapide de la crise et ne souhaite pas s'aventurer à des prévisions sur le résultat de l'année comptable 1998.
  • L'accord SCL-Delmas sur la COA serait probablement adapté...
    Ce vendredi, les états-majors des armements Delmas et SCL se retrouvent pour faire le point au sujet de leur accord de coopération sur la route Europe-Afrique de l'Ouest. Il ne s'agit en aucune manière de le dénoncer, comme le laissent sous-entendre certaines revues spécialisées françaises. Le président de Delmas, Yves Barraquant, nous a d'ailleurs confirmé que la coopération restait toujours l'objectif poursuivi, tant en ce qui concerne la desserte de l'Afrique de l'Ouest que d'autres développements ultérieurs. Ceci étant, notre interlocuteur nous a confirmé que l'accord en question n'avait pas été aussi loin qu'initialement souhaité, comme par exemple la création d'une société conjointe pour l'exploitation de containers et la gestion de la logistique, ainsi cela avait été envisagé au début de 1997.

  • ACCC: No intention of dropping MUA case
    The chances of a return to chaos on the waterfront rose yesterday with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission claiming it had no intention at this stage of dropping its legal action against the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA).
    ACCC chairman Professor Allan Fels hit back at claims that his ego was blocking the final step in locking in the peace on the Australian waterfront, saying he was only acting according to the law.
    Legal action by the ACCC and the Melbourne Port Corporation, alleging that the MUA breached secondary boycott provisions of the Trade Practices Act during its dispute with Patrick, remains the last hurdle to the implementation of a peace deal.
  • Heavy trucks face charges hike
    Australia's biggest trucks do not "pay their way" and should pay up to 40 per cent more in heavy vehicle registration charges to reflect the damage they cause to roads, according to the National Road Transport Commission.
    The NRTC yesterday released proposals for new national road user charges for heavy trucks for comment. It conceded that the current charging system was flawed and that Australia's heaviest trucks, or about 18 per cent of the heavy truck fleet over 4.5 tonnes, were failing to pay for road damage costs they incurred.
    Under the proposed changes, operators of the heaviest trucks on Australia's roads will be the worst affected, with the registration fees of B-doubles and road trains proposed to jump about 25 per cent.
  • Lobby groups come out fighting
    Trucking lobby groups yesterday vowed to vigorously oppose the NRTC's proposed second round of road user charges for heavy trucks, arguing that they already paid more than fair share.
    Rail lobby groups also attacked the proposals, but described the new increased charges for the heaviest trucks as "manifestly inadequate" for the recovery of damage to roads caused by these trucks.
    The Road Transport Forum and NatRoad Limited both came out guns blazing after the release of the NRTC's draft policy paper on new charges yesterday.
  • Record profit, but Qantas warns
    Despite major cutbacks to services in South Korea, Japan, Indonesia and Thailand, flagship carrier Qantas yesterday posted a record $304.8 million net profit for 1997-98, up 20.7 per cent.
    International revenues declined 2.3 per cent over the previous year because of the Asian turmoil, but international freight performance remained strong, with revenue growth of eight per cent.
    However, Qantas warned that the Asia situation would affect future profitability and said indications were that it would be "hard to match" the result in 1998-99.
  • Oakajee shortlist, but no project
    The Western Australian government has short-listed four companies to build, own and operate a proposed deepwater port at Oakajee, north of Geraldton, but it is yet to secure a crucial major customer for the project.

  • Dry cargo hell
    Confidence in the dry cargo market is being eroded by growing fears that the damage caused by the Asian economic crisis means recovery is still a long way off. Prices for some second-hand bulkers have fallen to their lowest levels in 10 years but nervousness among buyers means few are willing to gamble that today s cut-price ship will be tomorrow s bargain. The effects are being felt elsewhere with cutbacks among brokers, companies seeking to renegotiate charters and mounting concern that Japanese owners are becoming overstretched.
