  • ACT se défait de son terminal de la 5e darse
    "Ayant constaté que notre tonnage avait diminué de 20%, nous avons estimé nécessaire de fermer notre terminal de la 5e darse. Cette mesure va de pair avec une restructuration du groupe et depuis le 1er janvier dernier, nous concentrons nos activités conventionnelles/breakbulk sur la presqu'île formée par la 6e darse, le bassin de la Hanse, et à la 7e darse. Lorsqu'un armement constate qu'il a affrété trop de navires, il réduit sa flotte, nous ne faisons qu'agir de la même manière". Alex Desiron, administrateur-directeur général du groupe ACT/MT (Antwerp Combined Terminal/Maritime Terminals) qui s'adressait récemment aux nombreux représentants de sa clientèle à l'occasion de la traditionnelle réception de nouvel an, a cette fois tenu des propos qui reflètent clairement la situation particulièrement difficile dans laquelle se trouve un certain secteur des diverses.

  • Steep decline for compo claims
    Australia's shipping industry has witnessed a dramatic reduction in compensation claims over the past two years.
    The Australian Institute of Marine & Power Engineers has used the latest edition of its journal, On Watch, to highlight the development, adding that "you probably won't hear Peter Reith making a major statement about it".
    According to the Seacare statistics quoted by the institute, which looks after the interests of marine engineers, the 1997-98 statistics show that the number of claims (385) was just over half of what it was in 1995-96 (702).
  • US meat trade looking up: Columbus
    Columbus Line estimates that meat exports from Australia and New Zealand to North America in 1998 will be up over 1997, although final figures are still being compiled.
    Commenting on the anticipated figures, the director of corporate commodities for Columbus Line in North America, Mike Casey, said that ongoing investments by the line had helped Australia/New Zealand shippers to react quickly to economic challenges.
    Mr Casey said that meat, the largest volume commodity northbound on the Australia/New Zealand trade route, was a global commodity, often bought and sold even while it was in transit. As a result, exporters and brokers must be able to react quickly to market opportunities wherever they occur.
  • Report highlights Adelaide's 'positive IR'
    The positive industrial relations environment at Port Adelaide has been highlighted in the 1997-98 annual report of Ports Corp South Australia.
    The joint report by chairman Geoffrey Fry and general manager Peter Edmonds notes that the excellent industrial relations environment within the port enabled the container terminal to handle abnormally high numbers of containers during the dispute between Patrick and the Maritime Union of Australia.
    "The Adelaide Container Terminal was frequently described by independent observers as the most efficient in Australia," they said.
  • Profits surprise at Dampier
    The Dampier Port Authority (DPA) reported an unexpected increase in its operating profit last financial year as a result of higher trade levels across a range of export commodities.
    The port, which operates under the legislative objective of maintaining a break-even financial position, achieved an operating profit before tax of $689,041 for 1997-1998, compared to a budgeted figure of $335,000.
    Late in the 1998 year, the DPA announced it would offer a reduction in port dues to prevent the high surplus from occurring again this financial year.
