  • Sea-Land here next month
    Sea-Land Service's new Australian relay operation will begin tomorrow -- with an inaugural departure from Long Beach for arrival in Sydney on 21 December.
    The US giant on Friday confirmed it will take slots on Maersk's weekly, fixed-day East Coast Australia-Far East service and link with its own multiple line-haul services on trans-Pacific, inter-Asia and Asia-Middle East-Europe routes.
    Sea-Land will take 125 40-foot slots (250 TEU) each way on each Maersk sailing, with 40 slots allocated to standard and hi-cube reefers targeted at the US. In order to provide fastest transits, northbound cargo will be hubbed over Yokohama, while southbound boxes will be relayed over Kaohsiung.
  • P&O Nedlloyd profit up 20 per cent
    P&O Nedlloyd recorded an operating profit of $US30 million during the third quarter of 1998, 20 per cent up on the comparable result of $US25 million for the same period in 1997.
    This compares to an increase of 11 per cent in throughput and a reduction of four per cent in average revenue per TEU.
    According to the Anglo-Dutch shipping line this clearly demonstrates that significant cost savings are being achieved.
    The increase in interest, minorities and other items for the third quarter compared to the previous year largely reflects the financing cost of new ships, the line said.
    The line noted that "headline profit" remained the same as for the third quarter in 1997 which, in effect, shows that increased volume and cost savings fully offset reduced rates, higher interest charges and the cost of Asia's financial crisis.
  • BSA bid 'under study'
    A proposal by P&O Nedlloyd to accommodate Blue Star Asia volumes within the Australian Northbound Shipping Conference agreement has been held over by member lines for further consideration.
    DCN understands a further principals' meeting will be held on 8 December to consider additional information which has been sought from P&ON.
    The original P&ON proposition was discussed at last week's annual consortium meeting at Sanctuary Cove, at which members apparently agreed to "roll over" the current agreement indefinitely, despite suggestions during the course of this year that some lines were pushing for major changes.
  • CS, Fesco tie delayed
    Implementation of the proposed vessel sharing agreement between Contship Containerlines and FESCo Australia North America Line has been delayed by what is being characterised as "discussion over detail".
    The lines announced in mid-September that from this month Contship would take slots on the weekly FANAL Australia/New Zealand/Pacific Islands-US West Coast service. In return FESCo would secure space on the US East Coast-Noumea/NZ/Australia leg of the round-the-world service Contship mounts with CGM and Marfret on a 10-day frequency.
  • MUA council reviews P&OP IPA
    The national council of the Maritime Union of Australia gets under way in Sydney this morning with P&O Ports' reform agenda one of the main topics of discussion.
    According to P&O chairman Richard Hein, the company is confident it will shortly be in a position to sign an in-principle agreement which covers the reform framework.
    While discussions between the stevedore and the union have been conducted in secrecy, with even the most senior executives claiming the issue was "too hot" to discuss, it is understood that the document being considered by the council this week will be a general position paper which refers to the transfer to annualised salaries and some outsourcing, not including maintenance.
