  • L'UINF souhaite la prorogation de la règle "du vieux pour du neuf"
    La navigation fluviale européenne naviguerait-elle dans des eaux plus calmes? La profession serait-elle plus sereine face à son avenir? A lire le rapport moral de l'Union internationale de la Navigation fluviale (UINF), on peut l'admettre. L'Union vient de tenir son assemblée générale à Duisbourg, sous la présidence du Gantois Philippe Grulois. Le ton d'ensemble de cette réunion était sinon à l'optimisme, du moins à une certaine sérénité. L'Union note en particulier que la "navigation intérieure a pu tirer profit l'année dernière d'une conjoncture favorable" dans la quasi-totalité des secteurs auxquels elle propose ses prestations. Seul le bâtiment et les travaux publics accusent encore des faiblesses.
  • La France retient le principe du "carburant professionnel routier"
    Comme nous le laissions prévoir il y a quelques jours (LL du 22-07-98), le gouvernement français vient d'annoncer qu'il retient le principe du "carburant professionnel routier". Le gazole échappera donc à l'augmentation de la TIPP (taxe intérieure sur les produits pétroliers). Les organisations professionnelles du secteur se félicitent de cette décision. Néanmoins, elles restent mobilisées afin de veiller à ce que les modalités d'application ne vident pas le principe de sa substance.
  • Le Havre: les nouveaux terminaux à containers devraient être opérationnels en 2002
    Les Havrais devront attendre jusqu'en septembre pour être fixés sur le sort qui sera réservé au projet "Port 2000", qui porte sur la création de nouveaux terminaux à containers, d'une part pour faire face à l'accroissement du trafic, d'autre part pour mieux mettre ce port au diapason des PC de 5 à 7.000 TEU. Si le président Jacques Chirac a laissé entendre que ce projet serait réalisé, le feu vert dépend du gouvernement, qui doit encore prendre position. La direction du port autonome français déclare pour sa part que la mise en service des premiers quais devrait intervenir en 2002. Théoriquement, cette échéance devrait pouvoir être respectée.

  • Intercontinental gives up: Sandra marie for sale
    THE AUSTRALIAN shipping industry suffered a major blow yesterday when the Intercontinental Group threw in the towel and placed the coastal bulk carrier, the Sandra Marie, on the market.
    The possible loss of the ship to the Australian register is not seen to be as damaging as the fact that the shipowner could not run the vessel in a manner in which the company saw fit.
    While the Intercontinental Group made no official comment on the decision, a company spokesman told DCN the development was "very disappointing."
    The Intercontinental Group's decision followed refusal by the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) to accept the latest proposed manning reduction aboard the vessel.
    The latest manning proposal would have reduced the crew to 11, comprising of a master and two deck officers, a chief engineer and two engineers, four integrated ratings and a cook.
  • Yet another delay on settlement
    THE COMPLETION of the agreement between Patrick and the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) has been delayed yet again yesterday when the Federal Court granted a further extension to the process.
    The extension means that meetings of creditors of Patrick's four labor hire companies do not have to be held until early August.
    Under corporations law meetings of this nature must be held within 60 days.
    That deadline expires today.
    Mr Justice Tony North extended the deadline from today until 6 August, a move which should allow the finalisation of all outstanding matters, including the legal case brought against the MUA by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
  • OOCL opens new depot at Qingdao
    ORIENT Overseas Container Line (OOCL) has opened depot facilities at Qingdao, operated by the Qingdao Orient International Container Storage & Transportation Co Ltd (QOCT).
    Qingdao is one of northern China's major transport hubs, last year handling more than one million teus, a fact acknowledged by the managing director of OOCL (China) Ltd, Ted Wang .
    "Qingdao is the major transportation hub for northern China and last year they had just celebrated the handling of the one millionth teu and OOCL was proud to be part of it," Mr Wang, said at a function to mark the opening.
    "Our commitment to China and Qingdao in particular is once again reflected in our investment in QOCT."
