  • Anvers et sa rive gauche: la troisième phase de la darse de Verrebroek attendra...
    Au moment de l'élaboration du projet de la darse de Verrebroek dans la zone portuaire de la rive gauche et qui est parallèle à la darse de Vrasene, les trafics en conventionnel/breakbulk étaient toujours en expansion. Depuis trois ans les choses ont évolué différemment, depuis que le container s'attaque avec des prix dérisoires à ce type de trafic. C'est en fonction de cette évolution que la direction de l'Entreprise portuaire anversoise a décidé de mettre la réalisation de la troisième phase de la construction de la darse de Verrebroek dans une position d'attente.
  • Géodis a vu ses bénéfices baisser en 1999
    Le groupe Géodis a annoncé qu'il s'attend à une baisse des bénéfices pour l'année 1999, dont les résultats finaux seront publiés le 23 mars. Cette baisse a dû être concédée malgré une hausse de l'activité dans les branches messagerie et logistique. Le chiffre d'affaires a augmenté de 11,2% à 20,6 mia. de FRF (3,15 mia. d'EUR). A structures et taux de change comparables, la hausse du CA a été de 9,3 %.
  • Baptême du PC "Antwerpen Express" de 4.864 TEU
    De tous les mega-carriers qui fréquentent le port d'Anvers, Hapag-Lloyd est assurément un des plus fidèles, son engagement à assurer des dessertes directes s'est révélé constant au cours des dernières décennies et c'est d'ailleurs grâce à ses efforts que le groupe Grand Alliance y a dirigé un de ses 5 services hebdomadaires sur l'Asie. Une nouvelle preuve de cet engagement a été fournie ce lundi avec le baptême, au terminal de la Noord Natie sur l'Escaut, du dernier né de sa flotte, le PC "Antwerpen Express", une unité de 4. 864 TEU. H-L, on le sait fait désormais partie du groupe Preussag.

  • The National Small Shipments Traffic Conference is set to launch a new marketing and communications campaign to try to double membership from its current 400 shipper and carrier affiliates, its new Washington executive director said. Debra Phillips said the goal of the campaign is to emphasize the group's educational and networking opportunities in a time of fast-changing developments for the nation's shippers.
  • American Trucking Associations President Walter McCormick plans to refocus the trade organization on advocacy, shedding many other roles while cutting membership dues. He's convinced his board of directors that after 16 years in the wilderness of Alexandria, Va., it's time to look homeward by taking ATA back to Capitol Hill. Within 18 months ATA will relocate adjacent to lawmakers' offices and even sooner narrow the trade group's focus to congressional legislation, federal regulation, federal court suits and cultivation of the national media. State trucking associations will be expected to fill voids at the local and regional levels and that's why ATA now requires its members to belong to at least one state association.
  • Crown Cork & Seal Co., which invented the bottle cap 108 years ago, is carrying on a long tradition of automation with a program to integrate key elements of its supply chain throughout North America and overseas. Founder William Painter thrust the company into the age of automation in 1898 with a machine called a foot-powered syrup-crowner that could cap 24 bottles a minute. Fast forward to the present day and the company is taking another "quantum leap," said Mike Dunleavy, vice president, corporate development. The current strategy may not be that much different from Painter's - to stay ahead of the competition through improved service and product quality - but this time the company is developing a system that manages time, material and money simultaneously.
  • Tracking the price of diesel fuel the past 10 months has been like watching the NASDAQ stock exchange, except for one all-important item. Even the go-go NASDAQ market falls now and then. Welcome to the land of $2.12-a-gallon diesel, which is the price the black gold hit in New England last week. Coping with fuel prices that have risen nationally by some 40 cents a gallon since April, trucking companies are scrambling to cover the increases through fuel surcharges, hedge programs and good old-fashioned wrangling with shippers.
  • The day Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co. announced the "demerger" of its cruise line business, P&O Chairman Lord Sterling was in Germany signing a joint venture agreement to develop an inland waterway terminal and logistics center at the Rhine River port of Duisburg. Germany's Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder was on hand to underscore the significance of the new terminal and the importance his government attaches to expanding environmentally friendly inland waterway traffic. But Sterling's day was not done. With less fanfare he also announced that P&O Ports had signed an agreement to purchase the container and general cargo stevedoring business of Seaport Terminal n.v. in Antwerp.
  • Emery Worldwide and BAX Global spent 1998 turning around foundering operations and in 1999, both began seeing results. While the two heavyweight air freight companies have very similar structures and go after nearly identical business, both seemed to have carved out a profitable market toehold. Emery, since 1998, has had great success with its guaranteed international air freight service, Gold Priority. BAX Global, meanwhile, has concentrated on winning large logistics contracts and taking more deferred air freight, another strategy that paid off in 1999.
  • At the request of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Chairman Rob Krebs, the National Industrial Transportation League held two informal shipper meetings in late January and early February in Portland, Ore., and Chicago. In addition to wondering, "where was Paul Tellier," meeting attendees came away unconvinced that another merger would be beneficial to shippers. And contrary to shippers' opinions, BNSF and CN assured them that both Krebs and CN president Paul Tellier were on the same page.
  • First it was SITA and AAR. Now it's Supplyaccess, a subsidiary of En Pointe Technologies. What do they want to do? Sell aircraft parts over the Internet. Kevin Schatzle, president, chief executive officer and co-founder of Supplyaccess, describes the future portal site as a single interface to multiple suppliers, warehouses and distribution channels. The company plans to take the site live in the second quarter and started development this month, he said.
