  • Europe-Far East: le container risque-t-il de perdre le breakbulk de faible valeur?
    Récemment à une réunion de presse donnée à Londres, Chris Bourne, managing director de MOL (Europe), a évidemment abordé l'épineuse question de l'évolution des taux de fret entre l'Asie et l'Europe. Il a d'ailleurs réitéré ce qu'il nous avait déjà déclaré précédemment à Rotterdam, à savoir que son armement, comme d'autres d'ailleurs, ne gagnent pas d'argent et que les rendements du capital sont dérisoires. Les choses doivent donc changer.
  • Des maisons du fluvial vont être créées en France
    Notamment auprès des chargeurs, le transport fluvial français reste encore très marqué par l'image du tour de rôle. La fin de ce régime administré fera donc évoluer les pratiques de tous les acteurs. Il faudra en particulier que l'esprit d'entreprise se développe chez les artisans bateliers.

  • WTO Said To Side Against EU In Banana Battle
    World Trade Organization (WTO) experts are rumored to have ruled that the European Union's new regime for the import and marketing of bananas breaks global trading rules and will have to be changed. Officials in Washington announced that the three experts, acting as arbitrators in a parallel case, also found that the U.S. could impose sanctions on EU goods to the value of $191.4 million to compensate for trade losses caused by the regime. Official word on the conclusion is not yet available.
  • Impasse Could Force Shippers Out Of NY
    The governors of New York and New Jersey have reportedly hit an impasse in a battle that could cause the loss of 1,000 jobs and the relocation of two shippers out of the region.

  • Tanker Rates Fall With OPEC Cuts
    Tanker rates eased last week due to a fall in demand for tonnage caused by refinery maintenance in Asia and cuts in oil production by OPEC/non OPEC producers.
  • Moody's Downgrades Hvide Marine
    Moody's Investors Service reportedly downgraded to Caa2 from B1 Hvide Marine Inc's senior unsecured rating on $300 million of 8.375% notes due 2008, to B2 from Ba2 its rating on an amended $166 million secured bank revolver and $112 million of secured bank term debt, and to "c" from "b3" its rating on $115 million of trust convertible preferred stock.
