    The three crew members of the abandoned Angolan cargoship, the Kifangondo, returned home yesterday after spending more than two years guarding the vessel in the port of Le Havre. Their return air tickets were paid for by local collection but, according to French reports, it was the French government which paid their FFr450,000 ($73,000) salary arrears. The vessel was towed into Le Havre in January 1994 after suffering a generator failure. Her owner, the Angolan state-owned company, Angonave, has declined to take responsibility for her and, so far, attempts to auction her have failed despite a starting price of only FFr560,000.

  • Etienne Schouppe (SNCB): "L'érosion des tarifs de manutention des containers nuit au long terme"
    La parution récente du livre du Premier ministre belge, Jean-Luc Dehaene, "Pistes pour 2000"- et surtout ses paragraphes concernant la SNCB - ont brièvement secoué le landerneau belge, surtout que d'aucuns y ont vu le prélude à une séparation Nord/Sud du réseau en conséquence d'une éventuelle privatisation. Nous avons rencontré Etienne Schouppe, administrateur délégué de la SNCB. Quand on l'interroge sur l'avenir de la société et sur son évolution vers une dimension dépassant de loin le cadre étroit du "simple" réseau ferroviaire belge, on se rend bien compte qu'il ne peut être question d'une telle scission. Au contraire, on perçoit qu'il existe bel et bien une réelle volonté de jouer autre chose qu'un rôle de simple figurant. Surtout à Anvers, où Schouppe estime qu'on ne dispose pas de la place suffisante pour "offrir" un terminal dédié à un armement. "A Anvers, on a voulu créer du volume, à n'importe quel prix (surtout les plus bas), mais ce n'est pas le volume qui génère suffisamment de cash flow pour financer d'autres investissements ou des modernisations. Il est temps de mettre fin à une concurrence suicidaire entre manutentionnaires. Et je suis prêt à discuter de coopération avec eux, afin qu'ensemble, nous atteignions une taille suffisante pour faire face à la concurrence qui n'est plus intra muros mais européenne".
  • KTN se lance dans la logistique des produits chimiques liquides
    Katoen Natie, qui en matière de services au secteur pétrochimique a déjà connu une grande expansion internationale dans la logistique des matières synthétiques solides (poudres et granulés), va désormais mettre en œuvre une stratégie similaire pour les produits liquides. Cela se fera par le biais de la filiale Chemcopack, dans laquelle KTN a acquis il y a environ un an et demi une participation de 51%. Chemcopack a construit sur les terrains de KTN à la darse de Vrasene sur la Rive gauche anversoise un tout nouveau terminal pour le traitement, le conditionnement et le stockage de produits chimiques. L'installation, qui est opérationnelle depuis le mois de mars dernier, a requis un investissement de l'ordre de 400 millions de BEF (10 mio. d'EUR).
  • Menace d'actions dans le transport routier belge
    Les syndicats des chauffeurs routiers UBOT (socialiste) et CVD (socio-chrétien) ont publié un communiqué commun dans lequel ils avertissent les employeurs qu'ils passeront à l'action s'ils ne prennent pas davantage au sérieux les négociations sur un nouvel accord interprofessionnel. "Les salaires sont misérables par rapport au travail et aux qualifications exigées", disent-ils en substance. Ils ont lancé ce jeudi matin une campagne d'information auprès des routiers belges.
  • Grand Alliance alignera une flotte de 18 nouveaux PC de 5.000 TEU à la fin 2000
    Le groupe Grand Alliance, composé de Hapag-Lloyd, P&ONL, NYK, et OOCL (MISC n'intervenant que sur un segment), devrait aligner pour la fin de l'année 2000 une flotte de 18 nouveaux PC post-panamax allant de 4.800 à 5.500 TEU, ce qui permettra de consolider des services, d'en développer d'autres.

  • RoRo Safety Design Initiative Proposed
    Curved car decks could improve safety on RoRo ferries, researchers from the University of Strathclyde, said, claiming that curved decks could make RoRo ferries more stable.
  • Cammell Laird Makes Investment
    Cammell Laird Holdings Plc hopes that its $28.43 million purchase of three ships puts it in a position to provide unrivalled ship sourcing and conversion service. The company apparently bought the vessels as part of a plan to source, design, engineer and outfit vessels and then sell or charter the ships to customers if required.
  • DFDS Boosts Position With Takeover
    DFDS's $286 million acquisition of DanTransport is designed to make it the region's second-largest transport company.
  • Stolt Comex Seaway Business Picking Up
    Norwegian offshore services provider Stolt Comex Seaway SA won $60 million worth of contracts after a slow start earlier in the year . Stolt said higher oil prices and an improving construction and maintenance market in the Gulf of Mexico could help the market grow the following year.
  • Mobil Starts Production In Norway
    Mobil Corp. said that production began from the world's largest subsea development, the Asgard oilfield in the Norwegian Sea, operated by Norway's state oil company Statoil and in which Mobil has a 7.35 percent stake.
  • Tanker Chartering Slows
    Chartering of crude tankers in the key Middle East region slowed last week, pushing rates down. Other lifting zones showed unchanged rates amid generally steady business activity.
