  • London in no rush to aid Harland & Wolff
    The UK Government is firmly resisting pressure to rush forward major warship orders to save Harland and Wolff after the Belfast yard lost the $700m Cunard contract for the Queen Mary 2.
  • Global Summary
    CP Ships 'could be floated'
  • Cost of fuel may hit P&O Nedlloyd results
    THE impact of rising bunker prices on P&O Nedlloyd is the major unknown element obscuring predictions of this week's financial results from the Anglo/Dutch liner firm, writes Janet Porter.
  • Drilling companies strike a growth phase
    OFFSHORE drilling companies and the oil service industry is in the early stages of a multiyear growth phase, according to a new report from ABN AMRO.
  • Belfast bid may open new doors
    Harland and Wolff's failure to land the deal for Cunard's prestigious Queen Mary II cruiseship has left more than 1,700 employees facing redundancy. However, one man believes the Belfast yard could seize victory from defeat. Perhaps surprisingly, he is Cunard boss Larry Pimentel, who told CHRISTOPHER MAYER why.
  • Pupils lobby for cleanup initiatives
    INTERNATIONAL Maritime Organisation delegates got a taste of child power on Friday, when two members of Greece's Helmepa Junior arrived to brief the maritime community on their work to clean up the environment.
  • True casualties of profit
    MY fellow writers Michael Grey and Richard Woodman have touched on a taboo subject. Despite the International Safety Management Code ships continue to end up as casualties.
  • Investors urged to develop cross-border strategy
    INTERNATIONAL property investors do not care to be compared to frightened rabbits, caught on the wrong foot in a motorway dazzle of headlights as danger rushes towards them.

Le quartier général sera implanté à Bruxelles en raison de la proximité du centre de tri de TNT.
  • L'UE doit éliminer les lacunes de la législation sur l'engagement des routiers étrangers
    Dans le cadre de la Concertation Benelux Transport, qui a eu lieu mercredi à Liège sous la direction de l'Union Professionnelle du Transport par Route (UPTR), la problématique de l'engagement de conducteurs étrangers a notamment été abordée, un point sur lequel l'approche néerlandaise de la question mérite d'être suivie chez nous, dit Liliane De Wilde, de l'association professionnelle SAV. Parmi les autres sujets traités, on retrouve entre autres les temps de travail, les contrôles routiers, l'élargissement de l'UE, les coûts externes et les prix des carburants.
  • Hellmann opte pour Wim Bosman pour le transport européen de diverses

  • A major rift among Class 1 railroads was laid bare at the Surface Transportation Board in an unprecedented hearing on the evolving structure of the North American rail industry. The hearing was sparked by the proposal of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and the Canadian National Railway to merge into a 50,000-mile system stretching from Los Angeles to Nova Scotia and Vancouver, British Columbia, to New Orleans. BNSF and CN were chastised not only by the usual groups of shipper organizations but also by their Class 1 brethren - the CEOs of the remaining five large railroads. Perhaps not since the initial opposition of the former Burlington Northern and Norfolk & Western railroads to rail deregulation opened by the Staggers Act in 1980 has there been such a division among the major rail carriers.
  • American importers and exporters are clamoring for change in the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act. That law, passed in the 1930s, codified limitations on shipowners' liability for cargo that date back to the 18th century. Legislation that to COGSA is expected to be introduced in Congress by spring, where it should have strong support. Many international interests, however, are oppose to a unilateral approach.
  • Pallets may not be getting the attention they deserve. A food industry report suggests that improved pallet deployment and inventory management could shave millions of dollars off supply-chain costs. Manufacturers in the industry spend an average of nearly $1.4 million annually on one of the most commonly used units, the 40 x 48 pallet. Food service distributors, who tend to use this platform for shipping and receiving, spend an average of $114,300 a year on the pallet. All of the respondents combined spent nearly $75 million on new and reconditioned shipping platforms in 1998.
  • New Internet logistics service provider FreightDesk.com is aimed squarely at helping transportation intermediaries - freight forwarders, brokers and other international trade middlemen - reduce costs and retain customers. The startup's chief executive officer is Rob Quartel, a former head of the Federal Maritime Commission and advocate for ocean shipping deregulation. Quartel maintains that his dot-com company is the only one not trying to cut out middlemen.
  • Doug Waggoner, a 12-year veteran of Yellow Freight System, is leading Los Angeles-based Daylight Express to new heights. Daylight, already a $100-million-plus carrier growing at 20 percent annually, specializes in the long-haul, expedited freight mix. Promising coast-to-coast delivery in five days, Daylight is promising near-air-freight service at close-to-LTL rates. Waggoner was attracted to Daylight because of its nonasset-based model, compared with asset-laden YFS, and says few of Daylight's workers are encumbered by the regulatory mindset of some older LTL veterans.
  • In exchange for its support of the proposed Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway-Canadian National Railway combination, regional carrier Wisconsin Central has struck a deal with the Class 1s that would extend its reach for merchandise traffic throughout the upper Midwest and Ontario. WC operates 2,900 route miles in Wisconsin, northeastern Illinois, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, eastern Minnesota and northern Ontario. Under the agreement, if the BNSF-CN merger is approved, WC would be able to extend its reach through a 10,000-mile haulage rights package into other parts of those states as well as into Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Indiana.
  • The Airforwarders Association met in Orlando, Fla., and changing the organization topped the agenda. Facing competitive pressure from all corners - the integrated carrier, expedited truckers and online auction sites - the Airforwarders are looking for a way to stand out in the crowd. Under consideration is teaming with the National Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association America, a trade group with three times the number of members and greater political pull. Some in the group think it's a great fit, others think it could spell disaster and believe the leaders should look for a partner that emphasizes air freight over ocean.
  • While environmental groups accuse the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers of wreaking ecological havoc in the name of pork-barrel port and waterway projects, the International Maritime Organization is developing a slew of regulations to protect the marine environment. If ever there was a time when the shipping industry needed to be aware of green issues, it is now. "It is time for the Army to stop waging war on our environment," said Mark van Putten, president of the National Wildlife Federation. Van Putten spoke in conjunction with the release of "Troubled Waters: Congress, the Corps of Engineers and Wasteful Water Projects," a report produced jointly by the federation and Taxpayers for Common Sense.
