  • Over-capacity both ways: O'Dea
    Most trades are over-tonnaged on either an inward or outward leg but the United States-Australasia trade is over-tonnaged on both legs, according to the general manager of the Australia-New Zealand Direct Line, Brian O'Dea.
    Mr O'Dea, speaking at the Ports, Shipping and Waterfront Reform conference in Sydney this week, said the growth in capacity in this tradelane had far outstripped the growth in trade.
    He said in order to gain an elusive competitive edge, the lines had hurdled each other to provide greater port ranges and fixed-day sailings.
  • 'Slight headway' in P&OP talks
    This week's enterprise agreement talks between stevedore P&O Ports and the Maritime Union of Australia have made slight headway, but there is a still a long way to go.
    While the discussions for a new document to cover Container Terminals Australia Ltd in Sydney have made some progress, the gap between the parties remains substantial.
    So substantial, in fact, that a satisfactory conclusion is unlikely despite a next round of meetings scheduled for middle of next month.
  • Geraldton and MUA gear up for March court case

    The case was filed last year after the GPA launched a reform program and announced it wanted to stop providing stevedoring labor. The port granted licences for stevedoring services to Cooperative Bulk Handling, P&O Ports and WA Mercantile.

  • ABS Classed-Fleet Passes 100M GT Mark

  • Oslo Bors rops
    The Oslo Stock Exchange reacted well to market influences in January, leading to a record advance in the first week of the year.
    These influences included signals from Norges Bank that activity levels in the economy, and merely the crown exchange rate alone, will influence interest rates. In addition, higher oil prices and stock exchange advances worldwide fueled the strong market surge in Oslo.
    In late January, oil prices dropped back and the stockmarket followed suit, before Norges Bank's interest rate cut at the month's end gave stocks a new boost. Maritime shares had risen by approximately 20 percent halfway through the second week of January, but a correction in the middle of the month halved the gain. The All Share Index rose a solid 9.5 percent in January and the Shipping Index advanced 10.6 percent.
  • Explosives Fail To Ignite Fuel, Save Environment
    Experts detonated explosive charges aboard a grounded 639-foot (195-m) cargo ship late last Wednesday in an effort to burn off its remaining fuel and limit environmental damage as a fierce storm threatened to break up the leaking freighter. But incendiary grenades that were set by a team of Navy specialists apparently failed to ignite the 400,000 gallons of fuel oil aboard the disabled vessel, authorities said.
    As thousands of gallons of gooey oil washed up along five miles of central Oregon's pristine sandy coast, state and federal authorities concluded that it was safer to try to burn the fuel aboard the New Carissa rather than risk a more serious spill.
  • Cruise Prospects Look Good For '99 And Beyond
    Cruise bookings in 1999 are off to a strong start, with Carnival and other lines showing solid sales growth as North America's cruise operators sail into an era of gigantic ships, including one featuring an ice rink and a rock-climbing wall. Carnival Cruise Lines, a leading cruise operator owned by Carnival Corp. of Miami, reported its single biggest bookings day on Monday, when 21,190 berths were ordered, or six percent more than the previous one-day high set Jan. 27, 1998.
    Carnival Cruise's 1999 year-to-date individual bookings were up 16 percent versus the same days in 1998, the line's best year ever, according to Carnival President Bob Dickinson.
