  • Paris to Moscow River-Sea Cargo Service Envisaged
    Paris port authorities reportedly have agreed with the Russian Moscow Navigation Co. to study opening a cargo service between Paris and Moscow using rivers and canals as well as sea passages. The weekly service aboard Russian ST-Ruza class river-sea motorships, would initially comprise weekly services between the two capitals to start in June. Each vessel can carry up to 1,100 tonnes of cargo.
  • Global Marine To Lay Off 280 Workers
    Global Marine Inc. reportedly will lay off 140 employees working on two rigs off the West African coast, and would cut another 140 jobs for two other rigs, due to weak demand in the industry.
  • British Port Gets Record Fine For Oil Spillage
    A British port authority was reportedly fined $6.63 million for its part in the 1996 grounding of the Sea Empress oil tanker off South Wales in one of the country's worst oil disasters.  Britain's Environment Agency, an independent public body, brought criminal proceedings against the authority after the Sea Empress ran aground at the port entrance and spewed out 72,000 tons of light crude oil and about 250 tons of heavy fuel oil, used to power the ship's engines.
  • P&O Shuts Ferry Route, Cuts Jobs
    P&O Stena Line, the joint venture Channel ferries operator, is to close its Newhaven to Dieppe route, resulting in the loss of 148 jobs.
  • South Korean Ship Orders To Fall In 1999
    Ship orders to be received by South Korean firms are projected to decline this year, based largely on the country’s currency fluctuations and dipping demand. While official forecasts are not being released, domestic shipyards had 19.06 million grt of backlog orders at the end of December, enough to keep them busy for another two years.
  • ARCO To Make Deeper Cuts In Jobs, Spending

  • The air cargo industry either will have to spend millions of dollars to modify certain Boeing 727s to prove to the government's satisfaction that its planes are safe or face drastic payload limits under rules published last week by the Federal Aviation Administration. The long-awaited airworthiness directives set stringent limits on the payloads of 727s converted from passenger to all-cargo use until the floor structure of the planes are strengthened. Although the aircraft have logged millions of miles without incident, the FAA claims that the floor structure of the main cargo deck in the converted 727s is not strong enough to safely carry the current maximum payload. Carriers, who have more than two years to upgrade their planes, say shippers will feel little or no pain from the directives.
  • Two railroad unions that represent train-crew members, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the United Transportation Union, are pursuing with major freight railroads a new multiyear wage, benefits and work-rules pact. An agreement could include replacing an eight-decade-old mileage-based method of paying train crews with a new formula tied to unique characteristics of individual trips. Eventual cost savings to railroads could be substantial while shippers could benefit from shorter, faster and more truck-competitive trains.
  • Raymond B. Greer assumes leadership of Ryder Integrated Logistics following an extensive restructuring that began last January. Greer will continue down the path set by his predecessor, Edward Straw. Actually, Greer was instrumental in setting it. "For all practical purposes I have been an integral part of the corporate strategy," he said. RIL's fortunes are looking up on Wall Street, where analysts are starting to see a payback from RIL's reorganization.
  • A not-so-funny thing happened to newly elected Teamsters President James P. "Jimmy" Hoffa on his way to taking over the throne at the Marble Palace. Hoffa's lopsided election victory over Tom Leedham is being challenged. The delay is causing some awkward moments for Hoffa who must rebuild the union's finances and faces a tough car-haulers' negotiation in the spring. For now, Hoffa is president-in-waiting, prohibited from hiring staff or actually running the union.
  • Part of the finishing touches being applied by Norfolk Southern and CSX in their long-awaited March 1 start date to their Conrail acquisition is the delivery to customers of their customer resource guides that explain how to do business with the new railroad. Just as the two companies differ in their corporate philosophies, so too did their approach to their customer service guides: CSX published a nuts-and-bolts how-to guide for new customers; NS took a more comprehensive approach, and included a comprehensive directory with route maps and commodity-specific information. The shippers' take? The more information, the better.
  • A number of recent loss and damage incidents affecting deck-stowed containers in heavy weather has raised doubts about the methods used to stack and secure boxes on decks of large containerships. A debate has started over whether it is time for a fundamental review of loading techniques. Carriers fear too much criticism will stigmatize deck cargo and lead to unjustified claims.
  • A U.S. Tax Court ruling could cost DHL Corp. hundreds of millions of dollars, plus a 40 percent penalty. The ruling in the transfer-pricing case involves trademark rights and whether DHL inadequately accounted for those rights. The three-year case was contentiously argued by both DHL and the Internal Revenue Service, with one IRS official calling the 40 percent penalty ruling a "touchdown" for the agency. DHL says day-to-day operations are not affected and that the ruling was expected. It is mulling an appeal.
  • A significant factor in the Surface Transportation Board's initial approval of the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad's application to build a coal-hauling rail line was availability of a tool allowing DM&E to test various line alternatives into the coal fields of the Powder River Basin in Wyoming. Princeton, N.J.-based engineering firm ALK Associates' Line Capacity Analysis System fit the bill for just such a project.
  • Two of Canada's major truck lines have grown by taking over regional carriers. Mullen Transportation of Alberta has gone from minority shareholder to sole owner of Mill Creek of Ontario. Montreal-based Cabano Kingsway has acquired bulk commodity carrier Raynald April of Quebec. Mullen and Cabano Kingsway are among the few publicly traded trucking companies in Canada.
