  • S'pore-flagged ship fined US$2m in plea bargain
    [SINGAPORE] The managers of the Singapore-flagged Neptune Dorado are to pay a US$2 million (S$3.46 million) fine as part of a settlement it reached with the US government over a host of safety and environmental violations.
  • Global ship orders forecast to rise 40%
  • M-E bunker charges down
Air and Land Transport
  • Time for Airbus to come of age
    [LONDON] The official launch of the A380 superjumbo airliner on Tuesday is a remarkable tribute to how far the European Airbus programme has come in 30 years. Defying sceptics and the inadequacies of its own unwieldy structure, the venture has grown into a global industry leader, capturing 55 per cent of all new aircraft orders last year. But its latest project is, politically and industrially, its most audacious yet.
  • Cathay pilots strike compromise deal
  • Watchdog to oppose bids by Qantas, Ansett for Hazelton
  • New Bangkok airport to be completed on schedule
  • Korea Aerospace lenders to take stake in firm, say executives
  • Lufthansa's Nov traffic up 8.3% due to CityLine unit

  • Trade storm a-brewing
    [PARIS] AIRBUS Industrie's project to build the world's largest passenger jet took off on Tuesday into the unfriendly skies of a looming trans-Atlantic trade storm.

  • Peak season game
    MATTEL Inc had big plans this holiday season for the Diva Starz, but America's children had plans of their own. They were not willing to wait to get their hands on the cute interactive doll. When demand unexpectedly surged in September, Mattel scrapped its carefully crafted logistics plan. Instead of shipping them by sea from Asia to a Southern California distribution centre, Mattel cut more than a week out of the transit time by shifting to air freight.

C’est ce que nous a déclaré Palle Weidlich, managing director de Mærsk Sealand pour le Benelux, lors de la réception donnée au Noordzeeterminal (Noord Natie) à l’occasion de la première escale directe du service AE 2 de l’armement et qu’effectuait le PC “Sealand Champion” de 4.200 TEU.
