Conti-Lines développe deux nouveaux services Spécialiste belge du secteur conventionnel/breakbulk, l'armement Conti-Lines vient d'ajouter deux nouveaux services de lignes régulières à sa vaste panoplie qui en compte désormais une dizaine. Conti-Lines a transporté l'année dernière 2,5 mio. de t de fret, dont plus de 50% généré dans son port de base qu'est Anvers. Geodis: forte progression des activités Overseas et Logistique au 1er semestre Le chiffre d'affaires de Geodis au 1er semestre 1998 a été quasiment identique à celui de l'année antérieure, à savoir 8,99 mia. de FRF. A périmètre d'activité égal et après correction des effets des variations de change, le CA a néanmoins progressé de 10,8%. C'est ce qu'annonce le groupe français. C'est surtout dans les secteurs de la logistique et de l'overseas que les résultats ont évolué de la manière la plus satisfaisante. Cargaisons industrielles pour le golfe arabo-persique La bigue flottante automotrice "Brabo" est intervenue dans l'opération de chargement d'un certain nombre de pièces lourdes et indivisibles à bord du "Chian Sportsman" à hauteur du quai 334 de la cinquième darse portuaire à Anvers. Ce vraquier de 18.000 t.dw. navigue pour compte de Rickers-Linie sur le service entre le Golfe arabique et l'Inde/Pakistan, liaison assurée à raison de deux départs par mois. Après avoir desservi les ports du Golfe, les navires mettent le cap sur Karachi et, en alternance, Bombay ou Madras. Le "Chian Sportsman" a chargé du break bulk et des cargaisons industrielles d'un volume global de quelque 3.300 m3 et d'un poids d'environ 1.000 tonnes. Il a entre autres chargé un chaudron de 137 tonnes. Ces cargaisons industrielles ont été acheminées par unité fluviale depuis la France. Les cargaisons seront déchargées à Mina Saqr aux Emirats Arabes Unis pour le site de Ras al Khaiymah. Geodis Calberson Projects (représenté par Steinweg à Anvers) est l'expéditeur de cette usine de ciment, une réalisation technique de Technip France. Le "Chian Sportsman" avait déjà chargé des vaisseaux en pontée en Allemagne. Rickers-Linie (Hambourg) est spécialisé dans le transport de vracs conventionnels, de breakbulk et de cargaisons industrielles. Outre le service susmentionné, Rickers-Linie exploite également des services réguliers vers la République populaire de Chine, l'Asie du Sud-Est et la région amazonienne au Brésil depuis l'Europe . L'entreprise est représentée par une propre agence à Anvers, à savoir Rickers-Linie Belgium.

TGV train to satisfy need for speed The Speedrail Group's selection by the federal government as the preferred bidder to build and operate a conventional very high speed train service between Sydney and Canberra, could result in the service being commissioned in late 2003. Speedrail's spokesman and ceo of Leighton Holdings Wal King said construction of a separate 220-kilometre electric line would start in about 18 months after the completion of a 'proving-up' stage. Steel Bros bolsters Aust presence Christchurch-based container equipment specialists Steel Bros Ltd has moved to strengthen its presence in the Australian market, announcing last week it has taken over the distribution of its sidelifter products in Australia. Steel Bros group managing director Bob Cossins made the announcement last week at the official opening of the company's new $2 million workshop and office facilities at Laverton North, in Melbourne. Under the new arrangement, Steel Bros has merged their operations in Australia with Brisbane-based company Container Transfer Equipment Sales, which has been distributing Steel Bros' products throughout Australia over the last 18 years. P&OP bids for India's second largest port P&O Ports Australia continues with its strategy to become the dominant stevedoring company in India, with its latest move being a bid for a concession at the country's second largest port container terminal, Chennai. P&O Ports managing director Captain Richard Setchell last week made a presentation to India's Ministry of Surface Transport for a 30-year concession to upgrade and operate the 600,000 TEU facility at Chennai. The Port of Singapore Authority and Hutchison International have also submitted proposals for the Indian government's privatisation of Chennai. Captain Setchell said P&O was proposing a significant upgrade in the port where three cranes currently operated on 600 metres of quay line. Government names ADI bidders The selection of five consortia to proceed to the next stage of the bidding process for the sale of ADI Limited, has been announced by the ministers for Finance and Defence, John Fahey and Ian McLachlan. They said the short-listed parties would be invited to undertake due diligence and prepare bids for assessment against the full range of the government's sale objectives. The ministers said, however, that as the government's decision on Defence's billion dollar Guided Missile Frigate Upgrade Project was expected later this year -- and because ADI's tender was one of two being considered for that project -- the arrangements for and timing of the completion of the sale of ADI would be determined in the light of that decision.
