  • Anvers: à quand le permis de construire pour le 3e terminal à marée?
    Les partenaires que sont la Hessenatie et l'armement MSC sont donc en possession du document leur octroyant la concession de l'exploitation du troisième terminnal à containers à marée à construire sur l'un des versants de la future darse à marée sur la rive gauche de l'Escaut. Manque à l'appel le permis de construire que l'Entreprise portuaire n'a pas encore en sa possession et l'on peut craindre qu'une fois de plus, on va perdre un temps précieux. La direction de l'Entreprise portuaire évoque un délai de quelques semaines, mais rien n'est moins sûr. En effet, le ministre de l'aménagement du territoire Steve Stevaert, qui doit délivrer ce permis, entend faire les choses d'une manière très réglementaire et disposer de tous les avis émanant de son administration. Il ne faudrait pas s'étonner si ces procédures devaient prendre 4 à 5 mois. De plus, ne l'oublions, la Belgique vit à l'heure d'une campagne électorale. La responsabilité du feu vert pour ce permis relèverait donc d'un autre gouvernement...
  • "L'ouverture du marché unique aux transporteurs de l'Est devra être progressive"
    L'Union Internationale des Transports Routiers (IRU) a invité vivement les autorités européennes à adopter une approche étape par étape pour l'ouverture du marché unique aux transporteurs routiers des pays candidats. "A leur tour, les transporteurs routiers de l'Europe de l'Ouest devraient pouvoir bénéficier de la même liberté d'établissement, sans contraintes bureaucratiques, dans les pays candidats, que les citoyens du pays hôte", dit l'IRU dans un communiqué.
  • Comment augmenter la capacité du rail sans construire de nouvelles voies?
    L'infrastructure ferroviaire européenne est-elle en mesure de pouvoir garder sa part de marché alors que les transports ne font qu'augmenter? Surtout, est-elle en mesure de reprendre des parts de marché à la route, conformément à la volonté de certains responsables politiques, poussés dans le dos par leurs électeurs qui en ont assez de voir tous ces camions engorger les routes? En d'autres termes, quels sont les moyens d'augmenter la capacité de l'infrastructure actuelle, étant donné que les mêmes électeurs ne veulent pas entendre parler de construction de nouvelles lignes de chemins de fer (sinon de l'autre côté du village...)? La solution passe-t-elle par des trains plus lourds, plus longs? Ne risque-t-on pas de devoir augmenter les dépenses pour l'entretien de l'infrastructure davantage sollicitée? La troisième journée du congrès sur le transport de marchandises organisé par AIC à Francfort n'a pas permis de fournir LA solution, mais a apporté des éléments de réponse.
  • Les centres de transbordement le long des voies d'eau secondaires ont leur utilité
    Quelque 716 mio. de BEF (17,75 mio. d'EUR) seront affectés à la construction de murs de quai le long des voies d'eau flamandes cette année. C'est ce qu'a déclaré le ministre flamand des Travaux Publics et du Transport Steve Stevaert lors du début des travaux à un mur de quai sur la Dendre à Hedersem. Il s'agit de 200 mio. de plus que le montant initialement inscrit au budget.

  • New Tasman timber service underway
    After months of speculation and rumor throughout the industry, it has been confirmed a new shipping service has been established to specialise in timber cargoes between New Zealand and Australia.
    The service will be run by South Coast Liners Pty Ltd out of Port Kembla. Vessels will unload at Kembla's multi-purpose berth and timber will be stored under cover.
    DCN understands that the Port Kembla Port Corporation is building a shed for timber storage at the berth, and while it will remain a common user facility, the storage will be used nearly exclusively by SCL.
  • Patrick, union resolving differences
    Patrick and the Maritime Union of Australia have made good progress towards settling two disputes now before the Federal Court.
    The two disputes concern the working of 12-hour shifts at Darling Harbour and the much publicised row over the failure of MUA members to turn up for work in large numbers on the New Year's Eve/Day shifts.
  • ATN tackles Vic freight
    Australian Transport Network has pushed aside the disappointment of losing last month's bid for V/Line Freight and revealed it is planning an aggressive competitive assault on the Victorian intrastate rail freight market.
    The US-led company, which acquired Tasrail in 1997 and will bid for National Rail and Westrail later this year, said yesterday it was seizing an opportunity to set up a rail freight operation to compete with the new V/Line Freight owner, Freight Victoria.
  • Air cargo going global
    In a move which should eventually mirror burgeoning global passenger alliances, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines, three of the world's largest air freight carriers, have taken the first steps towards creating a global cargo bloc.
    The three carriers, which already cooperate in the cargo area and have more than 13 per cent of the global market between them, announced last week that they had joined forces to study the possibility of a joint cargo venture.
  • Container fleet reaches new high
    The Institute of International Container Lessors (IICL) has released its 11th annual leased container fleet survey, noting that as of 1 January this year the operating leasing fleet of world container lessors reached a new high of approximately 5.6 million TEU.
    After adjusting for changes reported in 1999 for the 1998 fleet, the January 1999 figure of 5,593,880 TEU of international containers represents an approximate increase of 410,443 TEU, or 7.92 per cent, over the 5,183,437 TEU of January 1998.
