  • La navigation citernière belge s'apprête à mener des actions
    Aussi incroyable que cela puisse paraître, le secteur de la navigation citernière belge ne parvient pas à obtenir une surcharge de soute alors que les prix de fuel ont augmenté dans des proportions considérables. C'est d'autant plus incroyable que dans les autres secteurs du transport fluvial, une telle surcharge est obtenue, car incluse dans les contrats. Sur le marché spot, elle est incluse dans le fret. Ceci étant, le pourcentage de ladite surcharge dépend de la distance par rapport au fret. Dans le cas de contrats de 3, 6 mois ou un an, les commissionnaires de transport prévoient une clause de gazoil. Quoi qu'il en soit, dans le secteur de la navigation citernière c'est le blocage, les affréteurs ne veulent rien entendre, ceci alors que les principaux chargeurs, en d'autres termes, des compagnies pétrolières, sont parfaitement au fait de cette augmentation des prix du fuel.
  • Royaume-Uni: des mesures plus sévères pour contrer l'immigration clandestine
    Une nouvelle réglementation est entrée en vigueur hier lundi au Royaume-Uni, rendant encore plus sévères les sanctions à l'égard des transporteurs ayant des immigrés illégaux à bord de leurs véhicules. Une amende de pas moins de 2.000 GBP (135.000 BEF) par personne découverte sera imposée, et le véhicule sera le cas échéant saisi. Le gouvernement britannique veut être sûr que les chauffeurs inspecteront mieux leur véhicule avant de monter à bord du ferry ou de la navette Eurotunnel.
  • La CPF retrouve un second souffle
    Après des mois de tergiversations, qui laissaient supposer que la Commission portuaire flamande était définitivement mise en veilleuse, un accord a finalement pu être réalisé en ce qui concerne la répartition des sièges au conseil, grand sujet de discorde.

  • If other railroad executives had their druthers, Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad President Kevin Schieffer would be sentenced to hard labor in a re-education camp for expressing the heretic notion that railroads should compete more with each other. "The customer is not the enemy," said Schieffer, who envisions linking his 1,121-mile regional railroad with other regionals and shortlines to create effective new competition for Burlington Northern Santa Fe and the Union Pacific in the West.
  • To build or not to build - inland waterways projects, that is - is the question that's turned into a battle involving barge operators, the Army Corps of Engineers and environmentalists. Hanging in the balance are $2 billion worth of improvements to a dozen navigation locks on the upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers intended to speed the passage of barge tows and reduce congestion. But a controversial study by the Corps concludes that even with the possibility of barge tonnage doubling over the next 50 years, improvements may not be justified.
  • Red lights to trade could be turning green in key foreign markets, opening up new routes for importers and exporters. The changes signal not only increased trade volumes but shifts in global and regional trading patterns as well. With a combined population of more than 2 billion people, China and India alone could provide the pulling power needed to sustain recent growth rates in global trade. Congressional researchers project that granting China permanent normal trade relations status would generate $13 billion worth of U.S. exports in five years. Agricultural exports would increase by an estimated $2 billion a year.
  • Shippers are breathing fire over a move by the National Classification Committee that they claim could double and perhaps triple the cost of shipping a wide variety of commodities generally labeled as "poisonous materials." The NCC is considering a proposal, approved by an NCC panel Feb. 7, that would change the classification of some poisonous commodities from their current level in Classes 55 to 125 to Classes 200 to 300. In an analysis of the proposal, the NCC said the class changes are needed to take into account the hazardous nature of the products, co-loading restrictions and segregation requirements for poisons, and motor carriers' stowing, handling and liability concerns.
  • Considering the nature of the crimes it admitted to, some observers believe Fine Air Services walked away from a 28-month criminal investigation virtually unscathed. Under a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, Fine Air and its joint venture partner must pay a $5 million fine and suffer four years of court probation. Fine also has to implement a new safety program and hire an independent auditor to monitor it. The FAA and DOT are holding up the plea agreement as a great example of interagency cooperation. Others are wondering why the company got off so easily.
  • The important role ocean shipping can play in the global economy highlights the "desperate need" for additional reform of liner conferences and the end of their unique price-fixing privileges, according to the head of the European Shippers Council. "Since the late 1970s ... liner conferences have been constant thorns in the sides of shippers," the ESC's Chris Welch told the Containerization International Third Annual Conference in London. "They have habitually and regularly disrupted the normal function of the market, caused serious damage to customer-supplier relationships and, in a number of cases, have eliminated effective competition and abused their dominant position in the market." According to Welch, recent helpful reforms of ocean shipping have occurred because of concerted action by shippers around the world.
  • Norfolk Southern, CSX and Union Pacific Railroad have all implemented - or soon will - incentive programs aimed at expediting shipments of finished vehicles from auto ramps to car dealerships. There are both penalty-based and reward-based incentives, depending on the railroad. And there are mixed feelings among the auto manufacturers as to how much they should be responsible for cars that tend to sit at railheads. Who will be responsible for paying any penalties - the manufacturers or the haulaway carriers - remains at issue.
  • IBM and Qwest announced a $5 billion initiative. Qwest has selected IBM Global Services to build and provide operational support for 28 new Internet data centers, called Qwest CyberCenters. Revenue from the centers, expected to be over $5 billion, will be split almost equally between the two companies. IBM also announced an alliance with CommerceQuest to create five electronic-marketplaces, with plans to deliver 60 more by the end of the year. On the supply-chain front, IBM unveiled several initiatives geared toward small to midsize companies at its annual Supply Chain Management conference in Las Vegas.
