  • Comment relier le deuxième accès ferroviaire au Rhin d'Acier?
    Si le tracé retenu par la SNCB pour le deuxième accès ferroviaire au port d'Anvers entre Ekeren et Lierre est assurément celui qui présente le moins de dommages pour les riverains et l'environnement - étant donné l'énorme concentration des constructions privées et publiques en Flandre, il n'y a pas moyen de faire d'omelettes sans casser d'oeufs -, le raccord de cette nouvelle ligne à l'est de Lierre à deux autres lignes existantes, celle vers Aerschot et celle vers Herentals, donc vers le Rhin d'Acier, pose encore problème.
  • Renault V.I. Belgique veut redresser la barre en 1998
    Renault V.I. Belgique a concédé l'année passée une légère perte de part de marché, en dépit du lancement de ses nouveaux camions Premium Distribution et Premium Route. Elle a régressé de 8,7 à 8,3%, essentiellement à cause d'un ralentissement des ventes au premier semestre. La fermeture de Renault Industries Belgique à Vilvorde a été un facteur important, car un certain nombre d'administrations publiques - et dans une moindre mesure des entreprises privées - n'ont plus voulu acheter des Renault. Le phénomène n'a été que passager, mais l'amélioration au second semestre n'a pu compenser la baisse. RVI Belgique, par contre, a très bien entamé 1998, puisqu'une importante commande publique a pu être obtenue: un important contrat de livraison pour l'armée belge. C'est ce qui a été annoncé lors d'une conférence de presse à Bruxelles.
  • "Space freeze" could help problem of poor freight rates
    A limited form of "space freezing" cold help to solve the problem of "disastrously" low freight rates in container shipping, a leading operator suggested to delegates attending the "Containerisation International" Liner Shipping Conference in London. When the supply-demand gap widened greatly as the result of the imbalance between outbound and inbound cargo and seasonal differences, an artificial adjustment in supply was necessary and should be acceptable, said Makoto Ishii, senior managing director and chief executive of Mitsui OSK Lines' liner division.

  • FreightCorp plans ACT terminal

  • Patrick, MUA continue ‘genuine’ negotiations
    LITTLE progress was made by Patrick and the Maritime Union of Australia at enterprise agreement negotiations yesterday. The parties are due to meet again next Monday and Tuesday.
    Patrick has, so far, not committed to any major issue placed on the table by the MUA, including the 15 per cent wage increase sought by the latter over the three year term of the proposed agreement.
  • Maritime Union, farmers in ‘image’ battle
    NATIONAL Farmers Federation executive director Dr Wendy Craik has said the Maritime Union of Australia is ineffectual in its endeavors to prevent a newcomer from operating on the waterfront.
    In an address to the annual conference of the Pastoralists and Graziers Association of WA, Dr Craik said while it had been almost a month since Producers & Consumers Stevedoring was established, the threatened national industrial action by all unions had not happened.
