  • Nouvelle grève des dockers dans les ports français
    En France, la Fédération nationale des ports & docks (FNPD), émanation du syndicat CGT proche de l'actuel ministre chargé notamment des Transports, vient d'appeler une nouvelle fois à la grève. Lancée "pour la défense de l'emploi", cette action à laquelle les intéressés souhaitent donner une "ampleur nationale" devait perturber le fonctionnement de l'ensemble des ports français à compter de ce lundi 23 novembre 1998. Mais la date pour y mettre un terme n'est pas précisée.
  • Le mal ferroviaire français affecte en particulier le fret
    En France, la grogne quasi générale des cheminots européens est amplifiée par des revendications nationales qui portent sur les effectifs ainsi que la mise en place des 35 heures par semaine. Après la grande grève de l'hiver 1995 puis "l'été meurtrier" vécu en 1998, les clients fret de la SNCF (Société nationale des chemins de fer français) menacent de revenir à la route. Pour éviter cela, certains proposent deux mesures: d'une part des couloirs à "priorité fret"; d'autre part un fonds d'indemnisation pour les adeptes du combiné rail/route victimes du manque de fiabilité des services Fret SNCF.

  • MOL, Navix form 'world's biggest'
    Mitsui OSK Lines and Navix Line are to join forces in April, forming what is claimed to be the largest non-government shipping company in the world.
    The deal, officially described as a merger but widely seen as a takeover, brings together Japan's number two (MOL) and number four (Navix) in a move the companies say leapfrogs the new entity over the current number one, Nippon Yusen Kaisha.
    Navix shareholders will put up 3.5 Navix shares for each MOL share.
  • Award conversions resume
    The Australian Industrial Relations Commission yesterday resumed hearings on several maritime awards and their progress to minimum safety net awards.
    This followed the commission's landmark test case earlier this year where the Full Bench ruled that paid rates awards must be converted into minimum safety net awards.
    This decision was seen as a significant boost to the federal government's award simplification reforms.
    In addition, the commission's decision said that this should occur as part of the process of award simplification, and not be further delayed.
  • Separate rail regulator sought
    The Western Australian opposition wants the state government to set up a separate office of rail regulation to act as an independent arbiter for companies seeking access to the state's rail network, instead of the current plan to put the director general of transport in this role.
    Opposition Transport spokeswoman Alannah MacTiernan said the Rail Access Legislation passed in the WA parliament recently would not be approved by the National Competition Council in its current form.
    Ms MacTiernan said she believed it would be rejected because of its failure to provide for someone who could be a genuine impartial regulator of the track network.
  • Results justify FreightCorp expansion
    Freightcorp's annual report for the year ended 30 June 1998 was released on Friday, with managing director Lucio Di Bartolomeo claiming the figures show the corporation well placed to begin inter-state operations before the end of 1998.
    "The main drivers of this result were the record levels of freight carried, the continuation of the focus on driving down costs and achieving greater efficiencies in operations," he said.
    Total freight carried was 82.1 million tonnes, a 13 per cent increase on last year's 72.6 million tonnes.
