  • Le trafic de ligne entre les Amériques (côte ouest) en voie de rationalisation
    Quels que soient les trafics de ligne régulière de par le monde, les taux sont à la baisse, exception faite des segments westbound entre l'Asie, l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord, pour les raisons que l'on connaît. Dans la plupart des trafics, les taux se sont progressivement déterriorés sous la pression des mega-carriers opérant au sein d'alliances ou en solitaire, qui draînent les cargaisons inhérentes aux relations Nord-Sud pour alimenter leurs réseaux à grande capacité Est-Ouest. La crise financière asiatique contribue à aggraver les choses dans bien des trafics. Nous prendrons pour exemple les derniers développements qui se manifestent dans les relations entre les Amériques du Nord, centrale et du Sud, plus particulièrement sur la côte ouest. Pour ce secteur opérationnel, l'heure est à la rationalisation.

  • Industry sceptical about 'settlement' meeting
    Hope for the settlement of productivity problems at Botany Bay rests with a meeting between New South Wales Minister for Industrial Relations and Fair Trading Jeff Shaw and P&O Ports management on Monday.
    Mr Shaw discussed the problems with the central New South Wales branch of the Maritime Union of Australia on Wednesday, later blaming the federal government for the situation.
    Industry sources were sceptical, however, whether the state government had the capacity of addressing the issue, a fact acknowledged by the minister.
  • Latest Waterline: Productivity 'normal' but reliability hit
    Overall national stevedoring productivity, as measured by the five-port average, changed little from the March to the June quarter according to the latest edition of the Waterline report published by the Bureau of Transport Economics.
    The five-port average crane rate, which measures productivity per crane while the ship is worked, was 18.7 containers an hour for the June quarter compared with 18.8 in the March quarter.
  • Levy audit abandoned
    The problem-plagued Coopers and Lybrand audit of over-payments by shipping lines under the now abandoned Stevedoring Industry Levy, has been terminated, according to DCN's well-placed sources.
    The former Department of Workplace Relations and Small Business has apparently decided to terminate the audit due to the continuing inability of the lines to provide detailed information about the amounts they allegedly overpaid under the levy.
    The levy was imposed in order that the lines contribute about half the $300 million cost of funding payments to waterside workers made redundant under the WIRA process.
  • WA paves way for Westrail sale
    THE Western Australian government has put some of the legislative framework in place to accommodate the sale of Westrail's freight business.
    Amendments have just been introduced to the government Railways Access Bill which account for the proposed private ownership of the rail authority.
    The amendments will remove all references to government ownership of the railway replacing references to the WA Railways Commission with the words railway owner.
    The Access Bill, which is before the Legislative Council, has been introduced to allow Westrail's competitors to gain access to its 5400km of track.
  • Newcastle's glad tidings
    The port of Newcastle has reported another milestone in vessel movement efficiencies, moving four Cape size vessels recently on a single tide.
    The first of the four bulk carriers which made the event possible was the 292-metre Rubin Grace sailing from No. 5 Dyke with 142,045 tonnes of coal on board.
    She was followed by the 269-metre K Phoenix which loaded 124,000 tonnes of coal at No. 5 Kooragang.
    As soon as these vessels cleared the harbor entrance, the 289-metre China Steel Express and the 268-metre Hanjin Roberts Bank entered the port heading for No. 5 Kooragang and No. 5 Dyke respectively.

  • Kvaerner names Kjell Almskog new CEO
    Kvaerner ASA appointed Kjell E Almskog, 57, as its new President and CEO effective January 1, 1999. Almskog, current Executive Vice President and member of the Group Executive Committee of ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd., in Zurich, Switzerland, will succeed Erik Tonseth. Almskog currently heads the rapidly growing oil, gas and petrochemical activities of ABB. He was appointed to this position earlier this year when ABB reorganized its top management and created a new segment for these activities. Kvaerner was reportedly impressed with Almskog's 12 years with ABB, where he demonstrated remarkable leadership and has a record of managing very successful operations.
  • LR And Warsash Launch STCW 95 Compliance Program
    Lloyd's Register (LR) and Warsash Maritime Center have joined forces to provide an independent assessment scheme to aid compliance with the Seafarers Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code (STCW 95). The new scheme is to help flag state administrations, maritime training institutions and manning agencies satisfy the requirements of the Code, which arises from an International Convention of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The STCW 95 Code demands that all seafarers attain and maintain a defined level of competence. Flag state administrations are responsible for ensuring that, among other things, the certification of seafarers is in accordance with the requirements of the Code.

  • CSE Suspends Trading Of Knud I. Larsen
