  • Anvers: l'UEA et le GAMU s'abritent sous le même toit
    Pour l'Union pour l'expédition et la logistique d'Anvers (UEA) et le Groupement des Agents Maritimes d'Usines (GAMU), l'année 1999 démarre sous le signe de la rationalisation et d'une coopération plus poussée. En effet, le GAMU s'installe avec son secrétariat dans les locaux de l'UEA. L'événement était attendu depuis plusieurs mois et sa concrétisation s'inscrit dans la logique des choses, d'autant plus que les deux associations professionnelles ont de nombreuses affinités. En outre, les deux associations ont régulièrement adopté des points de vue communs sur bien des problèmes.

  • Waterfront hots up again
    Patrick is expected to launch legal action against the Maritime Union of Australia tomorrow after the failure of union members to work on two shifts over the New Year's Eve-New Year's Day break.
    Under previous working arrangements, New Year's Eve was considered a closed port holiday but this is not the case under the company's new enterprise agreement.
    Patrick's right to work on those shifts was upheld at an urgent hearing of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission last week.
    The stevedore's industrial relations manager, Bill Clayton, gave evidence before commission vice-president Ross of the significant financial losses which the company would sustain if work did not proceed.
  • BP sails into the sunset
    Adsteam Marine Limited, having acquired the complete business of Burns Philp Shipping Agencies in February last year, phased out the Burns Philp name from 1 January.

    The coming together of Adsteam Agency Pty Limited and Burns Philp Shipping Agencies has proved highly successful, a company spokesman said.
  • Floods hit Qld freight
    Severe flooding in north-west Queensland closed most roads and the railway line to Mt Isa over the weekend, but transport services in and out of Mt Isa are expected to return to normal today.
    Queensland Rail was forced to cancel passenger, freight and goods services in and out of Mt Isa over the past two days after swollen creeks flooded about 2.5km of the main Mt Isa-Townsville line west of Julia Creek to a depth of around 30cm.
    A spokesperson for QR said yesterday the water had receded and that QR was expected to resume all services today. She said freight trains carrying copper and zinc concentrates from Mt Isa to the port of Townsville were scheduled to resume last night.
  • Industry concerned about EPA report
    Transport industry players have criticised an Environmental Protection Authority draft document on road and rail transport noise, saying it will prove unworkable for the transport industry.
    The policy, which was drafted in January, seeks to influence land use planning for areas that may be affected by rail and road transportation noise.
    It is understood the policy document is due to be adopted by mid-1999, however a broad section of the maritime and rail industry is keen to ensure it is not passed in its current form.
  • Crispin to head ATN freight push
    Tasrail general manager David Crispin has stepped down and will now head Australian Transport Network's aggressive push to win rail freight operations on the mainland.
    Tasrail managing director Francis Small announced yesterday that Mr Crispin would remain as an executive manager of ATN, working on ATN's growth plans in Australia as it pursues other freight assets in Victoria and Western Australia.
    ATN, which comprises Wisconsin Central, Tranz Rail, Berkshire Partners and Fay, Richwhite, is believed to be one of four groups on a Victorian government shortlist for V/Line Freight Corporation. The winning bidder is expected to be announced later this month or in early February.
