  • Leo Delwaide: "Nous nous opposerons jusqu'au bout à toute équalisation Anvers-Zeebrugge"
    "Un port voisin entend neutraliser par la voie de l'équalisation les atouts propres au port d'Anvers, ce qui revient à subventionner des inconvénients. Nous n'aurons de cesse de nous y opposer. La force d'Anvers réside dans sa localisation géographique. Dans la chaîne des coûts du transport, la partie maritime est minime par rapport à la logistique terrestre. Par conséquent, plus on est près des centres de réception ou d'expédition, mieux cela vaut. Nous avons certes des inconvénients, mais les avantages que nous a donnés la nature, doivent jouer à fond." C'est ce qu'a déclaré l'échevin du port d'Anvers et président de l'Entreprise portuaire autonome Leo Delwaide, à la tribune de l'Antwerp Traffic Club. Pour l'échevin anversois, il est par exemple évident que le trajet Anvers- Duisbourg doit être moins cher que le trajet Zeebrugge-Duisbourg.
  • La CLTI et la FFOCT portent TLF sur les fonts baptismaux

  • La SNCB veut se renforcer à Anvers et en Europe

Via le rachat de THL, la SNCB (ou plutôt ABX) est depuis le 1er octobre dernier actionnaire de RKE à raison de 61,5%, les 38,5% restants étant toujours aux mains de Thyssen Krupp Stahl. Le groupe sidérurgique, ancien actionnaire majoritaire, entend en effet se concentrer sur son "core-business".

  • CTAL 'hiccup' over
    Cargo handling at Container Terminals Australia Ltd at Botany Bay returned to normal yesterday following two days of sporadic disruptions.
    The director, commercial, of the NSW Road Transport Association, Terry Dene, said that following complaints about truck queues on Wednesday, the situation appeared to have returned to normal yesterday.
    Mr Dene said he was not sure whether this was a one-off "hiccup" or whether it was the prelude to another go-slow at the facility.
    Members of the Maritime Union of Australia were allegedly involved in a go-slow following the removal of crane chasers earlier this year.
  • Austal delivers second auto express to Turkey
    Austal Ships has completed its second Auto Express 86 vehicle-passenger catamaran for the Turkish operator, Istanbul Deniz Otubusleri.
    The 86-metre Turgut Ozal will begin service in next month (December) with its identical sister ship Adnan Menderes in daily crossings of the Marmara Sea.
    The completion of the contract will see eight Austal high-speed ferries delivered to this owner.
    Austal has also established a service office in Istanbul, which is managed by its European service engineer, as part of its product support program with IDO.
  • Melbourne may cement role
    Rationalisation of the Australian cement industry may favor the port of Melbourne, if plans now under consideration reach fruition.
    The long-expected shake-out in the industry was heralded at the annual general meeting of Adeaide Brighton Limited this week, when chairman Malcolm Kinnaird described "a time of major uncertainty for our industry and our company".
    He said that as early as last August the company started "serious discussions" with other parties in the cement industry aimed at achieving a rationalisation, and that since then long and arduous negotiations had been under way with several parties.
    Mr Kinnaird said he regretted that he was unable to elaborate while sensitive, protracted and delicate discussions were proceeding.
  • TWU calls off Ansett action
    The Transport Workers' Union yesterday [26/11] called off today's planned industrial action at Ansett Australia over the airline's proposal to sell its door-to-door retail freight business and inflight catering operations.
    An union spokesman said protected industrial action was initiated earlier this week for stopwork meetings across Australia today, but last minute talks yesterday morning averted any industrial action.
    However, he said the TWU had not yet reached a final settlement and that there would be meetings of union members at Ansett across Australia today to discuss the issue further, with skeleton crews operating. About 1000 TWU members are affected by Ansett's sale plans.
