  • L'harmonisation des temps de travail entre chauffeurs salariés et indépendants est irréalisable
    Les ministres européens du Transport ont interrompu mercredi matin leur réunion à Luxembourg pour recevoir une délégation de l'European Transport Workers' Federation (ETF) venue communiquer ses griefs et souhaits en ce qui concerne les heures de travail excessives dans le transport routier.
  • Le succès du short sea dépend d'une saine concurrence entre modes
    "Le short sea shipping peut s'intégrer dans la chaîne de la logistique pour autant qu'il y ait une coopération entre les différents acteurs, et parmi ceux-ci les ports, qui doivent être attractifs dans le contexte de cette chaîne. Le short sea doit bénéficier d'une situation de saine concurrence entre les modes de transport, ce qui implique une position d'égalité sur ce vaste théâtre opérationnel du transport" C'est ce qu'a déclaré A.Guinier, secrétaire général de l'ECSA (European Community Shipowner's Associations), lors de la clôture de la 3e convention Euro-Med "From land to sea", qui s'est tenue la semaine dernière à Ischia.
  • Alcatel confie sa nouvelle plate-forme européenne à Heppner

  • La région Nord-Pas-de-Calais inquiète pour son rôle de carrefour logistique
    Le contrat de plan Etat-région pour le Nord-Pas-de-Calais, qui couvre la période 2000-2006, inquiète fortement les milieux économiques et politiques du Nord de la France. Ils craignent que les moyens manqueront pour faire de cette région de transit un carrefour logistique pour l'Europe du Nord-Ouest. "Des marchandises qui ne font que passer ne créent pas de valeur ajoutée", ont dit la plupart des intervenants lors de la séance inaugurale du salon TEN-JTR, mercredi à Lille.

Traffic Worldweb site
  • The global economy relies on three basic industries: telecommunications, finance and transport. The first two largely have been deregulated and today are global industries. But transport—air cargo transport in particular— still is restricted by antiquated bilateral agreements. Even the most liberal of these, so-called "open skies" agreements, fall short of creating the kind of global marketplace for air cargo services the business world needs. That, in a nutshell, is the view of a growing number of executives around the world who would like to see bilateral regulation of the air cargo industry end, and air freight join telecommunications and finance under the global regulatory umbrella of the World Trade Organization.
  • How much influence do railroads have over Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican and Commerce Committee chairman? The question is valid given the amount of money railroads have contributed to McCain, his conspicuous support of the railroads' agenda and his contradictory statements when discussing airline competition. McCain is author of a multiyear Surface Transportation Board reauthorization bill clean of a single change in regulatory law despite substantial demand from railroad customers for pro-competitive change and agreement from STB Chairman Linda Morgan that some change might be appropriate.
  • It's not Daimler and it's not Chrysler. The combined entity of DaimlerChrysler AG is transforming itself into a business that won't resemble either parent. DaimlerChrysler's new management structure took effect Oct. 1 following the end of a formal, 16-month "integration" of the German-based Daimler-Benz and Detroit's Chrysler Corp. The theory behind the merger made sense: Daimler-Benz would give Chrysler access to renowned technology and a network of European suppliers while Chrysler would show its German counterpart how to control costs and get product to market quickly. Chrysler also would give Daimler a pipeline to the North American market for Daimler's heavy truck, rail and automotive products. The question has been whether the companies could make the arrangement work in fact and not just in theory.
  • The old saw about the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing often applies to Internet retailers. Many companies are finding that their Internet operations are not well integrated with their regular, retail store operations. Enter Blue Martini Software, which promises to create multichannel merchandising and customer management across brick-and-mortar and Internet stores. The company was founded in 1998 and has been shipping its software only for the past six months.
  • Overnite Transportation Co. and the Teamsters union continue to spar over a labor agreement. The nation's fifth-largest stand-alone LTL carrier and biggest nonunion LTL carrier rejected the Teamsters' heavily conditioned acceptance to take the company up on a system-wide vote for union representation. Overnite Chairman and CEO Leo H. Suggs called the Teamsters' conditions a "heads I win, tails you lose" proposition on the union's part.
  • US Airways Cargo has weathered a tough few years. Revenue from cargo is way down, the staff has been cut back, cargo handling has been outsourced and now the airline is looking for a new leader. Greg Curtis, US Airways' senior director for cargo, left abruptly last month after three years of poor performance by the division. The airline is adding new capacity and wants a renewed focus on cargo. A search is on to find someone to breathe life into a division that has gotten very little respect from upper management and is losing that of its customers.
  • Who would have guessed that Union Pacific Railroad's new hump yard at Roseville, Calif., complete with the latest in railyard engineering, would cause service delays instead of increasing operating efficiency? After opening with a flourish in May, the $147 million classification facility has been the epicenter for congestion in California and the Pacific Northwest throughout the summer. It is just now beginning to find its stride. The reason it initially failed to perform adequately lies somewhere between customer expectations and what UP considers to be standard railroading procedure.
  • An ATM machine for cargo? That is what ports will have to become in order to meet the increasing demands of their customers, according to Andrew Rosener, director, international logistics, Hasbro Inc. Rosener described this vision of ports as 24-hour dispensers of cargo at the American Association of Port Authorities 1999 convention in New York. The industry is still geared to a time when factories worked to a five-day production cycle with a lull at weekends. Vessels tend to arrive in clumps, an inefficient and unnecessary cause of congestion at ports. This model is outdated, as factories switch to 24-hour operation in order to meet the demands of the big retailers.
