  • Le Rhin d'Acier pourrait être opérationnel en six mois
    Le bruit des avions qui atterrissent à Maastricht, un ballast impeccable, des rails rouillés, bien sûr... Puis, sur une centaine de mètres à peine, à la frontière entre les Pays-Bas et l'Allemagne, l'assiette du Rhin d'Acier est quelque peu envahie par les herbes. Ensuite, du côté allemand, de nouveau un ballast impeccable. De l'avis de tous les experts, pour une ligne soi-disant désaffectée depuis 1991, le Rhin d'Acier se porte bien et peut théoriquement être rouvert immédiatement pour une exploitation réduite. Il serait toutefois souhaitable de rembourrer ci et là le ballast et surtout d'adapter la signalisation. L'affaire de quelques mois... Telle est la principale conclusion qu'on peut tirer d'une très intéressante visite in situ, à l'initiative de la Commission Infrastructures de la Chambre et de son président André Schellens, à laquelle avait été invité le ministre fédéral des Transports Michel Daerden.
  • Paccar a battu tous ses records en 1998
    Le groupe américain Paccar, qui possède les marques DAF et Foden en Europe et Peterbilt et Kenworth aux Etats-Unis, a annoncé des résultats record pour l'année 1998. Il a été aidé en cela par le fait que le marché du camion a atteint un niveau très élevé des deux côtés de l'Atlantique. Dans le passé, les deux marchés étaient anticycliques, mais cela fait six ans qu'ils sont tous deux en hausse. Pour 1999, Paccar s'attend à une baisse modérée, tant en Europe qu'en Amérique du Nord.

  • SCT starts reefer van ops
    Melbourne-based transport group Specialized Container Transport has made moves to shore up its revenue base, with the start-up last week of its first refrigerated van operation on the east-west rail corridor.
    The refrigerated van service, which is initially running once a week as part of SCT's thrice-weekly train between Melbourne and Perth, is unique to Australia and represents the company's first move into refrigerated rail operations.
    The company said it hoped to grab a share of the interstate transport of perishable products through the introduction of the purpose-built and temperature-controlled rail vans. It claims to already have a 30 per cent share of the dry freight market on the corridor.
  • NR sale 'on track' despite delays
    The federal government has indicated that National Rail could still be sold by the end of this year, despite the apparent stalling of the protracted privatisation process as a result of the looming NSW state election.
    The government's Office of Asset Sales, which is acting on behalf of all three NR shareholders, is understood to have delayed the appointment of advisers for the NR divestment until after the NSW election on 27 March.
    A spokesman for the OAS conceded yesterday that the looming NSW election could hold up the long-awaited NR privatisation process, but said the sale could still be finalised by the end of the year.
  • Patrick cleared to sue MUA
    The Australian Industrial Relations Commission yesterday issued stevedore Patrick with a certificate allowing it to proceed against the Maritime Union of Australia in the civil courts.
    The certificate was granted in terms of section 166A of the Workplace Relations Act after union members failed to start work on the bulk carrier Kapitan Betkhar at Newcastle's Eastern Basin Distribution Centre.
    On Wednesday, Commissioner Wilks issued orders under section 127 of the Act, ordering officers and members of the union to start work on the vessel which is caught up in the dispute over whether members of the Transport Workers Union have the right to work on the wharf.
  • Cairncross awaits 'market interest'
    In line with expectations, Monday's meeting of Keppel Cairncross Shipyard Limited's creditors decided to retain the voluntary administrators appointed by the company's board and to form a creditors' committee to simplify the liaison process with the administrators on the future of the Brisbane ship repair yard.
    The board's decision to appoint Rick Dennis and Angus Blackwood of professional services firm, Ernst & Young, as voluntary administrators came after chairman Loh Wing Siew said there was little prospect of improvement in the company's recent ability to attract additional business.
  • Japan trade THCs on the way
    The substantial reduction of freight rates in the Australia to Japan trade over the past 12 months has forced the Australia Northbound Shipping Conference to impose terminal handling charges in Japan. The rates are believed to have fallen by as much as 20 per cent.
    An industry source confirmed the drop in rates and said lines were no longer in a position to absorb rising terminal handling costs at a time of falling freight rates.
    The Australia Northbound Shipping Conference discussed the imposition of the charges with the Australian Peak Shippers Association as required by the relevant legislation, the Trade Practices Act. The APSA opposed the move.
    APSA executive director Frank Beaufort told DCN yesterday that as far he was concerned the conference did not provide convincing arguments to justify its move.
    However, he admitted that rates have fallen.

  • Vardinoyannis' meteoric rise to top
    THE VARDINOYANNIS FAMILY is well known in shipping for operating an extensive fleet of tankers and products carriers.

The vast fortune now held by the family has been put together in a relatively short time and its lifestyle today is a world away from its origins in a small village in southern Crete.

  • Mike Jenkins was careful to warn his audience at the International Warehouse Logistics Association convention that they might not like everything he had to say. And he wrapped up his speech with a plea not to shoot the messenger. But the members applauded their chief executive officer, even after he pointedly warned that unless warehouse operators adapt to provide value-added services, they'll be passed by. It was a message of "tough love," said one attendee.
  • Virginia Congressman Frank Wolf has ensnared the Federal Highway Administration, its Office of Motor Carriers and at least four OMC officials in an influence-peddling scandal. The Department of Transportation's inspector general confirmed that OMC officials shirked their official responsibilities in favor of buddying up to truckers and improperly lobbying Congress in opposition to Wolf's desire to shift OMC from FHWA to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. OMC Associate Administrator George Reagle and three other OMC officials have been reassigned by FHWA Administrator Kenneth Wykle.
  • At Toyota North America, inventory management is a matter of hours, not days. That's why the automaker that pioneered just-in-time inventory and lean manufacturing systems decided it was time to speed delivery of parts to its dealers. Last year Toyota's Parts Distribution Center in Mansfield, Mass., asked Exel Logistics North America, a Toyota supplier since 1986, to create a solution that would ensure next-day delivery to its 110 dealerships in the Northeast, an achievement that cut standard delivery times in half.

U.S. carriers increasingly are looking toward Mexico to build market share in that fast-growing north-south border traffic.

Maritime trade is a beneficiary as more vessels ply polar waters. The challenge for shipping interests is how to regulate these hostile waters without imposing crippling costs on the companies that operate there. Progress is being made on several fronts. The International Maritime Organization is developing a nonmandatory Polar Code that will set standards for pollution control and safe navigation. A harmonized code for polar-class vessels is also in the works.
  • A sudden jump in rail fatalities, along with complaints by customers trying to get competitive pricing for business, has called the question, who's minding the store at Conrail? The question seems even more important given the fact that the railroad recently announced that its closing date will be June 1, three months later than initially hoped for. It could mean three more months of service and safety issues for Conrail customers. However, Conrail officials insist that the snafus are isolated and that there's no reason to worry.
  • Will Costa Rica be as lucrative a market for the United Parcel Service as its name promises? UPS certainly hopes so. The Atlanta-based carrier is following its customers to what it calls its "last frontier" - Latin America. UPS announced that it would begin offering dedicated round-trip service, five days a week, between Miami and San Jose, Costa Rica. It expects the new dedicated service to significantly improve transit times and provide earlier delivery and later pickup times. The service comes in response to the company's 16 percent growth rate in Latin America last year and is one of a number of steps UPS has taken in the past year to expand its presence in the region.
  • Manugistics, once the undisputed king of the supply-chain software vendors, has taken a serious beating. Its stock price has plummeted, its management is in flux and its competitors - chief among them archrival i2 Technologies - are riding high. Manugistics saw its stock price fall from a high of about $66 last April to a little over $9 last week. Both Legg Mason and BT Alex. Brown downgraded the company late last month after it broke off merger talks, announced plans to cut its work force by 30 percent and launched a search for a new CEO. However, the supply-chain software race isn't over yet, and Manugistics still has some advantages.
  • The Port of Montreal notched its 19th consecutive year in the black in 1998 as increasing container and liquid bulk traffic more than compensated for a fall in grain shipments. Dominic Taddeo, port president and CEO, reported a 1.2 percent increase in traffic over 1997, to 21 million tons of freight, the highest since 1990. The strong performance will enable the port to invest more than C$180 million in the expansion and improvement of its facilities during the next five years.
