  • Sharp's fire goes out
    Announcing his retirement from federal politics yesterday the former Minister for Transport John Sharp, said his decision had not bee prompted by any aspect of the current legal wrangling over the government's alleged involvement in Patrick Stevedores action to sack its MUA workforce.

  • The state of logistics is, in a word, "disturbing." That is the conclusion of Cass Information Systems' highly regarded ninth annual report on the state of logistics. It appears logistics' productivity has stalled in the quest to get total logistics costs below 10 percent of Gross Domestic Product. Last year business logistics costs were equal to 10.7 percent of GDP. Five years ago, our nation's logistics costs were equal to 10.2 percent of GDP. That half-percentage-point increase in logistics costs relative to GDP translates into lost productivity of $40 billion. Cass Vice President Robert V. Delaney charged policy-makers with a 10-point program to improve productivity and shave more than $50 billion off the nation's annual logistics tab.
  • TEA 21 - the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century - authorized $700 million to improve congestion at cross-border highway choke points but that appears to a drop in the bucket compared to the gigantic needs of some crossing points. Traffic on Interstate 35 in Texas north of the Mexico border at Laredo is clogged with trucks nearly any time of the day or night. With new interstate highways costing $100 million per mile, the $700 million isn't going to go too far - not even considering that the money is to be shared among 29 "high-priority" cross-border corridors.
  • How much can Union Pacific Corp. realistically expect to reap from the initial public offering of its Overnite Trucking unit? UP is hoping to fetch up to $550 million from the IPO to be issued in the third quarter. But an analysis of similar trucking companies shows that the railroad holding company might be lucky to get close to $400 million. While $1-billion-a-year Overnite ranks as the largest nonunion LTL carrier, it is facing the prospect of going public at a time when the LTL market is softening, analysts said. Overnite's debt load as a stand-alone entity largely depends on its IPO value, they added.
  • Northwest Airlines and its pilots are still far from inking a new contract that would bring some labor peace to the Minneapolis-based carrier. Talks were recessed on May 30 and both sides went on the offense, criticizing the behavior of one another during the negotiations. Meanwhile, customers of Northwest Cargo are growing weary of the situation and are trying to find alternative lift until the labor unrest is over.
  • The "Conrail jitters" have gotten even worse in the wake of Union Pacific's service breakdowns. So CSX and Norfolk Southern have turned up the PR effort in assuring shippers that their pending carve-up of Conrail will have no UP-like meltdowns.
  • California-based Riss Cos. is starting what it says is the first alliance between a U.S. intermodal marketing company and a European rail concern. Riss' partnership with France-based CNC Transports, part of the SCETA group of companies, is designed to provide door-to-pier, pier-to-door inland transportation between the two continents.
  • Baltimore's loss is Oakland's gain. Tay Yoshitani, Port of Baltimore executive director the past two years, is returning to the West Coast to take over the deputy executive director's job at the Port of Oakland. While Baltimore is a vital port, it offers a mixed bag of hopes and headaches while facing some of the same issues of older, struggling ports like Philadelphia and Boston. But Baltimore is bouncing back after attracting a healthy diet of autos, tractors and ro-ro cargo.
  • Devine Intermodal is celebrating its 75th anniversary by changing just about everything about the company. Founded as Devine and Son Trucking Co. in 1923, it has morphed from a family-owned drayage company handling mostly agricultural exports to one of Northern California's largest intermodal firms largely servicing the region's technology industry. With revenue of $1 million a month, the 100-person company has a customer roster including such giants as Apple Computer, Packard-Bell, Hewlett-Packard, Radio Shack and Intel.
  • Surfing the Internet is child's play compared with the potential of global information systems, or GIS. Already giants such as Federal Express use GIS to help their sales force route and price shipments. Sears, Roebuck and Co. and Procter & Gamble are other GIS believers. How GIS works and why it isn't a panacea for shippers is debated in the logistics section.
  • Canadian ports are booming. Thanks to a strong demand for crude oil in this country and a strong Asian economy, at least at the start of last year, Statistics Canada reports that ports handled record international tonnage in 1997. Vancouver was once again the busiest port in the Great White, handling a record 71.8 million tons of cargo - nearly one-third of all tonnage handled by Canadian ports. Montreal was next at 8.2 million tons of container cargo, with Halifax logging 4.7 million tons. The fastest-growing Canadian port was probably Nova Scotia's Port Hawkesbury, which specializes in transshipments of crude oil from Norway and the United Kingdom to this country.
