Tonnage tax hailed by British shipping BRITAIN is to move to a tonnage-based system of corporation tax for shipping in the biggest boost to the industry in the United Kingdom for more than two decades. P&O leads way back to Red Ensign THE commitment to bring "at least" 50 ships on to the UK register made earlier this year by P&O chairman Lord Sterling was repeated yesterday as all sides of the UK shipping industry welcomed the government's acceptance of Lord Alexander's report recommending the acceptance of a tonnage tax system. Bergesen profits slump as market conditions worsen NORWEGIAN blue chip tanker firm Bergesen yesterday released dreary half yearly results as worsening conditions in the tanker and gas carrier market took their toll. West Africa FPSO tie with Schlumberger BERGESEN aims to enter the FPSO market offshore West Africa using a converted tanker with oilfield services group Schlumberger selected as project partner responsible for the process plant installation and commissioning, writes Rajesh Joshi, Oslo. Lord Alexander delivers the goods A FINAL verdict on Lord Alexander's report, Independent Enquiry into a Tonnage Tax, will have to wait until the tax lawyers have gone through the small print at their usual rate. What is the tonnage tax? A TONNAGE tax, or more accurately, a tonnage-based corporation tax, significantly reduces the tax burden on shipping profits. Elf renews efforts to win backing for TotalFina bid ELF Aquitaine has made a new effort to rally support for its bid for rival TotalFina, spurning an earlier plea for talks from TotalFina chairman Thierry Desmarest. Spain Seven would-be immigrants, five Nigerians and two from Ivory Coast, are pictured just before being arrested by the Spanish Civil Guard near the port of Ceuta early yesterday. Many Africans attempt daily to cross the Mediterranean in makeshift vessels in a bid to reach the Spanish coast in search of a better life.
