  • UA hitting BHPT vessels
    THE BHP Transport fleet will be hit by industrial action as a result of the company's decision to pull out of the trans-Tasman.
    DCN sources confirmed yesterday that members of the Maritime Union of Australia intended to take protected industrial action on two vessels, the Iron Yandi in Port Kembla and the Iron Sturt at Risdon.
    The action will be taking place over the next few days and is expected to delay the sailing of each vessel by 24 hours.
    It is likely that other vessels could also be affected as part of this rolling action which is to protest against the withdrawal of two of the company's ships, the Iron Flinders and the Tasman Chief.
  • NR, BHP steeled for the long haul
    NATIONAL Rail has signed a massive $1.5 billion contract with its biggest customer BHP for the transport of steel products between BHP Steel's main manufacturing and distribution centres across Australia.
    BHP and NR yesterday announced that the new agreement -- the largest single steel movement in Australia with potential for up to 750,000 tonnes a year -- would operate from 1 July 1999 until the end of 2007.
  • UK pulls ahead of Aust for Howard Smith Towage
    Howard Smith has posted an 11 per cent increase in its net profit to $52.6 million, for the six months to 31 December 1998, compared to $47.25 million in the same period in the last financial year.
    The company's half year profit is almost reached its 1997-98 annual net profit of $64.42 million.
    Directors says a dividend of 17 cents a share will be paid on 1 April.
    The company says restructuring changes in the first half, including the divestment or closure of non-profitable operations in the engineering division, sale of the ships agency business, and new business integration, boosted pre-tax earnings.
  • Patrick profits revive
    Patrick Stevedores parent Lang Corp has released unaudited profit figures for the first quarter to 31 December, 1998, showing net earnings of $10.1 million.
    Profit before interest and tax was $18.30 million while the pre-tax outcome was $13.80 million, chairman Gilles Kryger told shareholders at the company's annual general meeting in Sydney.
    "This improvement in profit goes some way to restoring the balance sheet and providing a more satisfactory return on funds employed than has been our experience in the past," he said.
  • V/Line losers vow continued interest
    TWO of the losing shortlisted bidders in the Victorian government's bumper $163 million V/Line Freight sale have expressed disappointment in the outcome, but vowed to continue expansion across Australia's rail freight network.
    Industry observers have also questioned whether the successful bidder, Freight Victoria, would be able to make a satisfactory return on its investment, given that its bid was $43 million more than its nearest rival.
    Tranz Rail, part of the losing Australian Transport Network group, confirmed in a statement that ATN bid a non-conditional and fully-financed price of $120 million for the freight business.
