  • Legal experts draft transport, piracy laws
    [SINGAPORE] A new draft set of rules on the carriage of cargo by sea and a draft model law on piracy were among the successes of an influential gathering of international law experts in Singapore last week.
  • All berths open at Kandla port
  • Ship 'arrested' in Colombo
  • Ship sales
Air and Land Transport
  • FAA flight cutbacks help ease delays at La Guardia airport
    [NEW YORK] A US government-ordered reduction in flights at La Guardia that took effect about two weeks ago has slowly begun to ease severe backups at the airport, the most delay-prone in the country last year, federal aviation officials and airline operators say.
  • Qantas aircraft returns to Bangkok after fire warning
  • JAL to outsource parts supply to Boeing
  • M'sian air cargo business seen picking up next month
  • BAE Systems teams up with Boeing to build tanker aircraft
  • Embattled Air Afrique plans to lay off half its staff
Features
  • Behind the HK protest: money and markets
    WHY was Hongkong, the world's busiest container port, threatened with five days of disruption by something so seemingly mundane as lorry drivers? The answer is as arcane as many other aspects of the shipping industry, and at heart involves market control as well as that old standby money.

  • Le Rhinemacs Express Barge Service relie le bassin rhénan à la rive gauche anversoise
    La première unité fluviale du nouveau Rhinemacs Express Barge Service a été déchargée hier au terminal Westerlund dans la zone portuaire de la rive gauche anversoise. “Avec ce service, nous voulons désenclaver la rive gauche pour la navigation intérieure”, a déclaré Gaston Jansens de l’armement allemand MACS. Le nouveau service relie directement les terminaux à containers rhénans à la rive gauche anversoise, où des cargaisons destinées à la Namibie, au Mozambique et a l’Afrique du Sud sont transbordées sur les unités de MACS.
  • TRW retrouve le chemin des bénéfices et de la croissance
    Avec un trafic projeté en 2001 de 131.000 UTI et un chiffre d’affaires qui devrait atteindre 2,5 milliards de BEF, la société belge de transport combiné TRW est assurément repartie sur les bons rails. L’année 2000 a représenté un trafic de 117.074 UTI, tandis qu’on devrait atteindre un bénéfice de 350.000 EUR (14 millions de BEF) qui avait été prévu.
  • Le Havre et “Port 2000”: l’attribution des terminauxpeut se faire sans appel d’offres...
    Les Havrais sont-ils plus futés ou plus réalistes que les Anversois? Les propos que nous avons entendus au cours de la traditionnelle conférence de presse annuelle du port du Havre, qui s’est tenue jeudi dernier à Paris, nous inciteraient à le croire. En effet, il s’avère que les deux premiers postes du nouvel avant-port à réaliser sur l’estuaire de la Seine dans le cadre du projet “Port 2000”, sont en fait déjà attribués à l’opérateur Terminaux de Normandie, suite au protocole d’accord signé entre ce dernier, le Port autonome et l’armement MSC, qui annonce un trafic de quelque 400.000 à 500.000 mouvements pour 2004 (dont les deux tiers résulteront d’activités de transhipment). Et ceci, sans qu’il ait été nécessaire d’avoir recours à un appel d’offres international comme le prône la Commission européenne.
  • Les retards s’accumulent sur la réactivation du Rhin d’Acier
    Selon les informations glânées au “Logistics Forum” de Duisbourg, la construction de la ligne de la Betuwe se déroule selon les schémas prévus. Environ 90% du gros-œuvre est en cours. Et la mise en service est toujours prévue pour fin 2005 ou, au plus tard, début 2006. Par contre, du côté du Rhin d’Acier, les retards s’accumulent... Les premiers trains ne circuleront pas avant la fin de 2002.
