  • Les alliances logistiques sont la réponse à la demande en services paneuropéens
    Plusieurs multinationales ont modifié leurs concepts logistiques ces dix dernières années, abandonnant leur politique de décentralisation pour miser sur des centres de distribution européens (EDC). Pour appliquer ce concept, l'industrie et les chargeurs en général ont réduit le nombre de prestataires de services européens, optant si possible pour un interlocuteur unique. De nombreuses entreprises se sont senti appelées, mais seule une petite poignée sont digne de porter le nom "paneuropéen". En outre, 40% des chargeurs sont mécontents de leur prestataire de service. Afin de satisfaire aux exigences des chargeurs, certains prestataires de services logistiques ont décidé de se regrouper. Dans le second annuaire sur l'évolution de la prestation de services pan-européenne (*), Coopers & Lybrand dresse l'inventaire des tendances les plus importantes à l'aide de trois "cas". L'annuaire est constitué en majeure partie des profils de 65 prestataires de services.

Le conflit dans le secteur portuaire continue à se dérouler sur différents fronts: sur le terrain, devant les tribunaux et sur la scène internationale, où les menaces de boycott des trafics australiens se précisent.
  • La Haye veut intensifier la concurrence dans le secteur du pilotage
    Le gouvernement néerlandais s'est prononcé en faveur de la suppression du monopole accordé aux services de pilotage en 1988 et d'un meilleur fonctionnement du marché. Les premières réactions des pilotes néerlandais sont loin d'être enthousiastes. Ils ne sont pas opposés au principe même, mais s'inquiètent du contenu que le cabinet entend donner à ses plans.

  • Lines worry about US unions' threats
    Shipping lines are taking the latest threats by the International Transport Workers Federation and affiliated unions against shipping from Australia very seriously, of Columbus Line managing director in Australia, Achim Drescher told DCN yesterday.

    In a joint statement, the NZ Council of Trade unions and the NZ Trade Union Federation said it condemned the Australian Federal Government, the Australian National Farmers Federation and Australian stevedoring employers for their attack on the rights of Australian waterfront workers.
  • 'Strike-breakers' still waiting in New Plymouth
