  • Une enquête de l'ITR révèle un déficit d'aptitudes dans le transport routier en Belgique
    Une enquête de l'Institut du Transport Routier (ITR) a révélé qu'il existe, dans le secteur en Belgique, un déficit d'aptitudes, qui se fait surtout sentir dans le cas des chauffeurs. Les entreprises font toutefois preuve d'un grand intérêt pour des cours de recyclage... mais regrettent que de tels cours sont difficilement organisables en raison des horaires variables de leur personnel. Elles préconisent dès lors des cours le soir et le week-end. En outre, elles demandent des cours très spécialisés. L'enquête révèle que les parents pauvres du transport sont les clarkistes et les magasiniers: ils sont peu formés et les transporteurs sont très peu intéressés par des cours de recyclage les concernant.

  • COSCO's latest river steams up the Yarra
    The first of two 1432 TEU, 19-knot newbuildings for COSCO's premier Australia-China service steamed up the Yarra River in Melbourne for the first time yesterday.

  • CTAL back but dispute unresolved
    Work has returned to normal at Container Terminals Australia Ltd in Sydney, although the dispute at the centre of the row has not been resolved.
    According to industry sources, the dispute which stopped work on Tuesday resulted from the manner in which disciplinary hearings were being conducted, although this has been denied by the New South Wales central branch of the Maritime Union of Australia.
    Deputy branch secretary Jim Donovan told DCN yesterday the issue at stake related to safety.
    Mr Donovan said the company had failed to advise his members of the reasons for the interviews and insisted that dispute settlement procedures were not being followed.

    This represented about 13 per cent of all export containers passing through the Port of Melbourne.
  • New driving-hours statutes for Queensland
    New national truck driving hours laws will be introduced in Queensland on 30 October, the Queensland government announced this week.
    The laws, developed by the National Road Transport Commission and approved by Australia's transport ministers in January, were introduced in Victoria last month.
    It is understood NSW and ACT plan to implement the reforms next month, with South Australia and Tasmania expected to follow suit by the end of the year. The laws will not apply in the Northern Territory or Western Australia where driving hours are not regulated by prescriptive hours.
