  • Hai Sun Hup launches shipping, logistics unit
    [SINGAPORE] The newly created Singapore Shipping Corporation (SSC), the shipping and logistics operations of the listed Hai Sun Hup Group, was officially launched yesterday in a sea of confidence for its future.
  • Marketing of Singapore's biggest maritime trade show starts
  • Cost overruns may shave Newport News' profit
Air and Land Transport
  • UPS gets green light to operate flights to China
    [BEIJING] United Parcel Service Inc (UPS) beat rivals to become the only new US company approved by the US Department of Transportation to operate more flights to China, the fastest growing market for freight and passenger traffic.
  • BA wants to increase flights to India
  • Ex-F1 champion Lauda quits as CEO of his airline
  • No mechanics' strike before Christmas: United
  • A South Korean jet flies to Taipei after 8 years
Features
  • Mitsui OSK sails into prosperous waters
    IT has already been known for some time: most shipping lines are doing better. The loss-making times seem to be over and done with for the majority of the world's carriers. CMA, CGM, NOL or ACL could serve as good examples of this trend, but also Maersk Sealand, which has evidently already (gotten over) the effort of taking over Sea Land after two years. Out of the major trades, the most noteworthy are the Pacific routes and those between Europe and the Far East, where the shipping lines are profiting from generally higher rates.
Logistics
  • Odd bedfellows for a strong future
    IT has been predicted that there would be two types of consolidation in the forwarding and logistics businesses.

    “Il est de notre devoir de traiter les trafics de et vers la région liégeoise comme des trafics commerciaux privilégiés”. C’est ce qu’a déclaré Leo Delwaide, l’échevin du port d’Anvers, mercredi dernier à Bilzen à l’occasion de la désormais traditionnelle journée de rencontre entre Anvers et Liège, qui a eu lieu dans l’environnement féérique de la commanderie d’Alden-Biezen.

  • Zeebrugge: l’absence de contrôle favorise la traite des êtres humains
    La proposition sénatoriale visant la création d’une commission d’enquête parlementaire suite à la mort tragique de 58 migrants à bord d’un container transporté sur un ferry de P&O NSF entre Zeebrugge et Douvres a été rejetée la semaine dernière. Le rapport de la sous-commission, qui est basé sur quatre auditions et une visite au port de Zeebrugge, présente cependant un récit saisissant des pratiques de sécurité dans ce qu’il qualifie “d’une des plus intensives routes de traite d’êtres humains”. Le rapport s’en prend plus particulièrement aux pratiques de P&O NSF et des services de douane dans le port côtier belge. Si la proposition a finalement été rejetée, c’est principalement dû à la promesse du ministre des Finances de mettre un scanner mobile à disposition.

Les responsables de DVV ont expliqué mardi soir au personnel qu’ils étaient prêts à investir dans leur nouvelle acquisition, qui doit leur permettrede mieux se profiler sur le marché français et dans le Benelux. La mise en œuvre de cette stratégie, l’évolution des produits actuels du “Lloyd” et la forme que prendront les synergies avec la filiale belge actuelle de DVV, à savoir la firme Transmedia, qui édite le mensuel “Transport Echo”, doivent faire l’objet dans les prochains mois d’études approfondies.
