Le projet de fusion Cosco-Sinotrans aurait capoté Le projet de fusion des armements d'Etat Cosco et Sinotrans auquel nous fîmes allusion il y a quelques semaines aurait capoté, malgré le feu vert qu'avait donné Pékin pour la réalisation de ce plan. L'objectif était de créer un mega-carrier sous l'égide d'une seule autorité. Selon les informations dont nous disposons, l'échec serait dû aux trop grandes différences qui existent entre les deux entreprises. Manifestement, certains aspects politiques auront joué. N'oublions pas que Cosco relève du ministère des Communications, tandis que Sinotrans est contrôlé par le ministère du Commerce extérieur et de la coopération économique. Rotterdam: la croissance du trafic est plus rapide que prévue L'évolution du trafic du port de Rotterdam est supérieure aux prévisions du scénario à long terme repris de la récente étude "2020, perspectives pour le port et l'industrie".

L'entreprise portuaire d'Anvers face au millénaire Il y a à peine deux ans, les entreprises de consulting ont lancé une première campagne de sensibilisation concernant les retombées du passage à l'an 2000 (Y2K) pour les programmes informatiques et l'appareillage concerné. Certains estiment qu'il ne faut pas céder à la panique, tandis que d'autres estiment que le problème vaut d'être étudié. Le Centre Informatique de l'entreprise portuaire d'Anvers (ICH) fait partie du second groupe et a chargé une équipe de neuf personnes d'éliminer les retombées d'Y2K pour les logiciels propres et acquis. C'est ce que nous a confié le directeur Peter van Zundert.

Talks on meat rate changes Meat exporters and conference container carriers to the United States and Canada are to meet this Friday to discuss new tariffs which are to be introduced later this year. Members of the container line associations between Australia and US as well as Canada are to introduce tariff changes for sailings on or after 24 September. Letters sent last week by the Australia/New Zealand-United States Container Line Association as well the Australia/New Zealand-Canada Line Association to importers in the US and Canada said the carriers had concluded that they needed to review their competitive position on a port to port basis and ensure that charges for inland deliveries moved toward greater cost recovery. Sydney to stay working during Games Sydney Harbour will continue to operate as a working port during the 2000 Olympic Games. This undertaking was given yesterday by the NSW Minister for the Olympics, Michael Knight and the Minister for Ports Kim Yeadon, while releasing the waterways strategic plan for the sailing events of the Sydney Olympic and Paralympic Games. The ministers said ferry and charter vessel services would continue as normal with no effect on peak ferry operations before 10am and after 5pm. During the day, commercial shipping will be able to access the harbour outside of competition times. Beware GPS roll-over, AMSA warns The potential for problems to occur due to the "GPS roll over" has been brought to the attention of shipowners by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority in a Marine Notice. This latest notice (7/1998), replaces one issued in April (4/1998) which, it was suggested, may be incorrect. The authority noted that it remains prudent and important that all users of GPS equipment should contact their particular equipment supplier in regard to possible roll-over problems. Boc adds Cathay to list of clients Qantas and Ansett's stranglehold on cargo handling services at Melbourne Airport appears to have weakened further with revelations that independent cargo terminal operator BOC Cargo Services Australia is set to grab the handling business of one of the airport's largest customers. Engineers' dispute smoulders on The dispute between the Australian Institute of Marine and Power Engineers and Australian Maritime Safety Authority is showing no signs of an early resolution and continuing to hold up two vessels. The Cape Grafton continues to swing at anchor in Cairns, while the Rig Seismic is awaiting developments at New Plymouth in New Zealand. Despite a hearing in the Australian Industrial Relations Commission and several private attempts at resolving the impasse, no progress has been made to date.
