  • Westrail records good pre-sale results
    THE WEST Australian government scored an opportunity to show Westrail's freight business in the best possible light to prospective buyers this week with the announcement of a record operating profit.
    The 1997-98 profit of $46.2 million represents an increase of $3.7 million on last year's results and is the rail authority's third consecutive operating profit.
    Transport Minister Murray Criddle said the rail authority's improved financial results had been made possible through building on the benefits of the reform program that had been in place since May 1995.
    He said the freight business had operated in a tighter economic market during 1997-98 with the Asian financial crisis impacting on its iron ore, grain and mineral sands business.
    Westrail was able to balance the downward movements in those commodities with increases in revenue associated with the alumina, nickel and woodchip industries.

    The original design project called for two unique drop-deck configurations: a 4.3 metre high tri-tri with a total of 174 cubic metres and a 4.6-metre tri-bogie, offering 196 cubic capacity.
  • Mini forum explains changes now being ratified
    AFTER the main session of the 21 September international meeting of air freight forwarders at the FIATA Congress in Sydney, a mini forum was held to describe progress with further measures introducing change in information flow and documentation.
    The title of the forum was "Electronic air waybill in regard to the ratification of Montreal Protocol No 4 and in view of the new Kyoto Convention and its practical use".
    Air Express International's vice-president management information services Colin Cook, described the basic aim as control over goods in transit through the reliable transfer of instructions and regular status updates to the shipper.
  • New global airlines alliance not surprising
    Air New Zealand yesterday said it was bnot surprised by the announcement of a new global airline alliance, describing it as the "way the world's going."
    Spokesman Alastair Carthew said the alliance had been rumored for some time.
    "The way the world's going is towards global alliances and this is another move along the way towards one global alliance.
    "It's just part of an ongoing trend, not only in this industry but other industries," he said.
