  • Northern Shipping Services et Manuport Handling fusionnent
    Le port d'Anvers vit désormais à l'heure des regroupements et autres fusions. La dernière initiative en date vient, d'un côté, des entreprises Northern Shipping Company s.a. et Société commerciale des Potasses et de l'Azote s.a. et, de l'autre, des sociétés Manuport et Manufert. Elles ont décidé de fusionner leurs filiales respectives, à savoir Northern Shipping Services et Manuport Handling, dans le cadre d'une joint-venture à 50/50. Cette dernière est réalisée par échange d'actions. La nouvelle entité juridique qui sera constituée à la fin de cette année, aura un capital de 450 millions de BEF entièrement souscrit.
  • Dirk Vercruyssen nouveau président de la KVGB
    Dirk Vercruyssen a été officiellement nommé hier soir président de l'association royale des manutentionnaires et gestionnaires de flux de marchandises (KVGB), par le directeur général Paul-Emile Carême au cour de la cérémonie du millénaire. Ce dernier a également fait allusion dans son allocution à l'importance sans cesse croissante de la logistique dans la manutention, procurant par la même occasion un caractère de plus en plus spécialisé à ces activités. Finalement, il a fait part, au nom de l'association, de son regret que les tentatives de renforcer la collaboration avec l'UEA "nont rien donné".
  • Zeebrugge: 50 ha seront prêts fin 2001 dans l'avant-port pour Cobelfret ferries
    Le port de Zeebrugge se porte bien. Outre un score final record de 35,3 millions de tonnes en 1999, sa prestation financière est également bonne. La MBZ a clôturé son exercice avec un bénéfice net de 162,6 mio. de BEF, contre 89,2 mio. en 1998. Son cash flow est passé de 95,2 mio. à 366,2 mio. de BEF. Le président Fernand Traen a donc tout lieu d'être satisfait. Il nous a également confirmé que le dossier "Cobelfret" avance.
  • Essers ouvre un site à Cargovil
    Le groupe limbourgeois de transport et de logistique H. Essers a pris une concession de 8 ha dans le zoning industriel de Cargovil, orienté vers la logistique, à Vilvorde. Ce site traitera tant les flux de distribution actuels que futurs, dit le directeur général Guy Robberechts.

  • At German-based international freight forwarder Schenker AG, the logistics division is thought of as "the baby of the group." The youngest and smallest of Schenker's three divisions, logistics accounted for about $300 million of the company's $6 billion in revenue last year. Still, logistics is seen as the key to company's future. The focus is for the logistics business to expand into Asia and North America.
  • There's a new sheriff on the rail-labor beat. He's a Republican son of a Brooklyn Democratic ward heeler. He packs a loaded sidearm instead of a shillelagh - both of which he's used to restore peace. He has represented labor unions and management and also is pursuing justice against some really bad dudes in Libya. Meet Frank Duggan, the newest member of the National Mediation Board, who at age 61 retains a youthful idealism that "everything you do in government is important to some people."
  • The hotel industry's first rapid-response network of regional parts and supply centers has been launced by On Command Corp., a supplier of in-room entertainment and information systems, in partnership with MSAS Global Logistics. The system's four-hour response time is a key feature, but even more important from On Command's viewpoint is that it will yield dramatic savings in transportation costs.
  • The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the nation's newest bureaucracy inside the Department of Transportation, is hitting the ground running under acting deputy administrator Julie Anna Cirillo. Leading Washington's toughest safety charge against unsafe truckers in decades, Cirillo is vowing that unsafe carriers will be dealt with harshly. Already she has more than doubled the number of compliance reviews and fines have risen on average by 85 percent. Cirillo, who ran the old Federal Highway Administration's Office of Motor Carriers before it changed into the FMCSA, is not interested in the top administrator's $130,000-a-year job "in this current environment," meaning the last year of the lame-duck Clinton administration.
  • After its Class 1 competitors took out a full-page advertisement asking shippers to oppose its merger, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and Canadian National Railway officially heard the first opposition from shippers when the Chemical Manufacturers Association came out against the combination unless conditions are attached. But the announcement blindsided National Industrial Transportation League President Ed Emmett, who said the conditions sought by CMA do nothing to promote competition in the industry.
  • Labor unrest at ports from Charleston, S.C., to Calcutta, India, is symptomatic of the changes now taking place in the ports industry. Israel is the latest country to be affected by the labor offensive as cargo handling at the ports of Haifa and Ashdod was at 40 percent capacity on Jan. 23 as a result of a longshore workers strike that had entered its fifth day. Job security concerns in the wake of privatization efforts are the heart of the labor actions.
  • Kitty Hawk is making good on its promise to the freight forwarder that it would provide nationwide coverage with its overnight air service. Last August, the company cut several routes from its network in favor of a newly won U.S. Postal Service contract. The elimination of routes to cities like Baltimore, Miami and El Paso infuriated forwarders but Kitty Hawk believes the slow down will lead to improved service now. Kitty Hawk is adding 10 Boeing 727 freighters to its Fort Wayne hub and will add 25 new cities by mid-May. More than half of the cities will be served with aircraft, the balance with trucks.
  • 1999 was not kind to Manugistics Group but 2000 is looking better - maybe even rosy - since the company's announcement of its movement into Internet exchanges, specifically powering Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp.'s multimodal transportation exchange FreightWise. The company intends to enter the arena from three different angles: serving as the engine behind other company's exchanges; creating its own Internet marketplaces for various industry sectors; and hosting exchanges for companies.
