  • La Flandre n'accepte pas le report des coûts d'accessibilité maritime sur les usagers
    "La mise en place d'une politique portuaire européenne sera difficile, essentiellement à cause du manque de considération en ce qui concerne la diversité du secteur maritime européen. Le passé nous a enseigné que c'est le marché qui dicte l'efficacité d'un port dans une zone géographique bien détérminée. Ceci étant, une harmonisation de certains éléments peut être essentielle à la compétitivité de certains ports. Des questions d'environnement, de sécurité, devraient faire l'objet d'une approche européenne commune, de même qu'il doit y avoir équivalence en matière de conditions commerciales. La question cruciale reste de savoir quels coûts doivent être répercutés aux usagers. Nous sommes d'avis que que les investissements publics dans des infrastructures portuaires de base et dans les accessibilités, pour lesquels des standards sont établis, qui concernenent notamment la sécurité et sont à la disposition de tous sur une base non-discrtiminatoire, ne doivent pas nécessairement faire l'objet de charges pour les usagers". C'est ce qu'a déclaré l'échevin du port d'Anvers, le baron Leo Delwaide, lors de l'ouverture officielle de la 22e Terminal Operation Conference & Exhibition (TOC), qui se tient ces jours-ci pour la première fois à Anvers.

  • Aust cargo to return as Columbus buckles
    In a major setback for the Australian government's efforts to reform the waterfront, Columbus Line has agreed to return Australian cargo loaded by non union labor aboard the Columbus Canada to Australia.
    The union movement's ability to force back the cargo loaded by non-union labor at the height of the dispute between Patrick and the MUA is a slap in the face for the minister for Workplace Relations Peter Reith who repeatedly claimed that the federal government had a strategy to deal with such an eventuality.
  • Frances Bay reaches milestone for Perkins Shipping
