Liner: vers une alliance "chinoise"? Curieuse information que celle que vient de publier l'organisme "China News", qui fait allusion à la création d'une vaste alliance entre plusieurs grands armements de Chine et de Taiwan. L'information vaut ce qu'elle vaut, mais elle n'en mérite pas moins réflexion. Les ÖBB veulent transférer leur fret sur l'Italie vers la route Les chemins de fer autrichiens - les ÖBB - étudient actuellement la possibilité de transporter leurs marchandises destinées à l'Italie par la route dès qu'elles arrivent à la frontière italienne. C'est ce qu'a déclaré Anton Hoser, un des administrateurs des Österreichische Bundesbahnen. La raison de ce transfert éventuel est l'absence de capacité suffisante en Italie. Les Gebr. Verstreken investissent à Bucarest Noi Déja présente depuis fin 1992 au terminal ferroviaire de Bucarest, la société de transport belge Gebr.Verstreken, de Nieuwrode, s'est spécialisée dans les transports entre la Belgique et la Roumanie.

Sydney users seek Carr's intervention Users have called on the Premier Bob Carr to intervene in the disputes restricting the flow of cargo through the Sydney's ports. The chairman of the Sydney Port Users Consultative Group, Peter Dexter, said his organisation had written to Mr Carr in response to the "unofficial industrial action" affecting the two container terminals at Botany Bay. Mr Dexter said the decision to write to Mr Carr, other NSW ministers as well as members of the board of the Sydney Ports Corporation was taken at an emergency meeting on Monday. Contracts awarded for Melb bulk facility Following the Victorian government's green light for Grainco's new dry bulk commodity facility in Melbourne, work will start almost immediately on its construction, according to Grainco's ceo Dave Woodall. Mr Woodall said contracts had been awarded for the first stage of the project, going to a joint venture between two Victorian companies – Concrete Constructions and Cortex Resources. Construction will be completed by November next year. He said: "The terminal will store and handle non-hazardous bulk commodities, with the first stage encompassing storage for approximately 52,000 tonnes of grain, oilseeds and pulses in 20 silo structures. "Specialist berths will provide for accelerated ship loading times – with loading and unloading services provided on a 24 hour basis. "The first stage of the terminal will provide for an estimated annual throughput of between 600,000 and 900,000 tonnes of dry bulk sources from Victoria and southern New South Wales. NRTC hints at charges backdown The National Road Transport Commission has hinted for the first time it could water down its proposed revamp of registration charges for heavy vehicles, admitting this week that some of the data used for calculating the revised charges may be outdated or flawed. The draft proposals, which were released in August to a chorus of opposition, have been widely criticised and rejected by the trucking industry and most state governments, as well as the Minister for Transport, Mark Vaile. While the commission's current proposals would involve no change to charges for about 80 per cent of Australia's heavy vehicles over 4.5 tonnes, operators of Australia's heaviest vehicles -- semi-trailers, B-doubles and roadtrains -- face a charges hike of up to 40 per cent. PBC applauds QR charge decision The decision by Queensland Rail to scrap handling charges on the delivery of full containers from the Brisbane Multimodal Terminal (BMT) to destinations outside the Fisherman Islands complex has been welcomed by Port of Brisbane Corporation chief executive officer Graham Mulligan. With immediate effect, the $25 per 20ft and $30 per 40ft charge will no longer be applied. The announcement came after successful negotiations between the Corporation, rail bodies and commercial operators using the Fisherman Islands facility.

OCTOBER 14, 1998
Kvaerner CEO Fired Kvaerner ASA ousted chief executive Erik Toenseth on Wednesday following a year-long plummet of the international group's stock price plummet. Kvaerner, hard hit by economic downturns in Asia and weak oil prices, said its overall course was unchanged. But it would accelerate efforts to consider sales of non-core assets and focus on managing the firm rather than expanding. Rumors are running rampant as to who will follow Toenseth in the top spot, with unconfirmed speculation pointing at Kjell Almskog, a head of Swiss/Swedish electrical engineering group ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd. UK P&I Club Cuts Supplementary Premium Call The UK P&I (Protection and Indemnity) Club reported it has cut an orginally planned supplementary premium call for 1997 to 25 percent from 40 percent, due to the strength of its reserves.The Club said the latest reduction is equivalent to a saving or rebate of more than 10.5 percent of the total cost to the UK P&I membership and is the fifth cut in six years. Pegasus Adds Three To Fleet Pegasus Shipping last week reportedly boosted its tanker fleet with the purchase of three Japanese-built ships. The ships, which were reported to be bought for $42 million en bloc, are all Panamax size, built between 1981 and 1983. Caterpillar CEO To Retire In 1999 Caterpillar Inc. said its chairman and chief executive Donald Fites will retire early next year, in accordance with the company's retirement policy, after 42 years with the world's largest construction equipment manufacturer. Sea Launch Delays First Mission Delayed by political wranglings, it appears that Sea Launch, the satellite launch venture led by Boeing Co., has delayed its first commercial launch until sometime after March 1999. Sea Launch, which initially had planned its first commercial launch for November 1998, remains on track for its current schedule of two launches in 1999, the spokeswoman said. The program has firm commitments to launch 18 satellites through 2004, including 13 for Hughes. Work on the Sea Launch was halted over the summer by State Department concerns that Boeing had violated U.S. arms control laws by transferring military technology to its commercial partners in Russia and Ukraine. Panama Canal Toll Collections Up The Panama Canal collected $545.7 million in revenue during fiscal 1998, surpassing the previous year's earnings by $52.1 million, the Panama Canal Commission (PCC) reported.
