  • Inquiétude et consternation après la hausse de tarifs de TRW
    La société belge de transport combiné TRW a diffusé lundi par fax un communiqué à sa clientèle dans lequel elle annonce qu'elle se voit contrainte de pratiquer une adaptation des tarifs sur certains axes. Certains transporteurs ont calculé que sur les axes Italie, France et Espagne, cela revient à une hausse de 5%. Et ils disent craindre que des hausses similaires seront pratiquées "d'année en année", selon eux jusqu'en 2002. Paul Sauvillier, le nouveau patron de TRW, conteste cela: nulle part il n'est question de 5% ou d'autres augmentations pour les années à venir. Chez les transporteurs routiers utilisant le combiné, c'est l'inquiétude, voire la consternation. "Après trois années de hausses consécutives de 5 à 6%, nous espérions qu'au vu de la dégradation de la qualité de service, il y aurait une stabilisation, voir une baisse des prix", nous a déclaré l'un d'entre eux.
  • Chipolbrok à la recherche de nouvelles opportunités en Chine
    Intéressante confrontation que celle survenue récemment à Shanghai entre la direction de l'armement sino-polonais Chipolbrok et la délégation maritime et portuaire anversoise de passage dans ses bureaux, d'autant plus que l'armement est depuis sa création un fidèle client du port scaldien. L'entreprise, au fil des années a pris un caractère assez particulier en ce sens que si elle maintient un service de ligne mixte axé sur le conventionnel/breakbulk et les containers entre l'Europe du Nord et l'Asie du Sud-Est, essentiellement la Chine, elle s'est diversifiée dans ce dernier pays en abordant les secteurs de l'agence maritime, de l'expédition avec entreposage et de l'immobilier.

  • Setchell in surprise departure
    P&O Australia yesterday announced that Richard Setchell, the managing director of P&O Ports, has decided to take early retirement and will be succeeded by Douglas Anderson.
    Mr Anderson is at present P&O Australia's deputy managing director and finance director.
    In addition, Jo Curin will join P&O Australia as finance director.
    Captain Setchell will give up his full time executive responsibilities in January.
    He will stay on the board of P&O Australia as non-executive director and continue as a director of several of P&O Australia's international port companies.
  • New tensions at CTAL
    Cargo handling at the Container Terminals Australia Ltd facility at Botany Bay was disrupted yesterday when waterfront workers, members of the Maritime Union of Australia, walked off the job for just under three hours.
    The workers were protesting at the alleged harassment of a colleague, a union delegate, who was dismissed this month.
    It is understood the dismissal was made with the approval of P&O Ports management, but was later overturned following intervention at a higher level and the dismissed worker was reinstated.
    Industry sources went so far as to suggest yesterday that this intervention might have precipitated the senior management changes at P&O Ports announced yesterday.
  • Qantas UK freight move delayed

  • $2 billion saving in rail revival, says ARA
    THE dramatic transformation of Australia's railways into a "dynamic and profitable" transport industry over the past decade has saved taxpayers nearly $2 billion, according to rail lobby group Australasian Railway Association.
    "The days of railways losing money on their freight operations are over," ARA executive director John Kirk said. "There is no net cost to taxpayers from Australian government rail freight operations and the cost of operating rail passenger services has been reduced."
    According to ARA research, from a rail deficit of $2.4 billion in the late 1980s, the rail deficit has been reduced by 75 per cent to $800 million per year -- the cash operating payment for rail passenger services.

  • U.S. To China: No Delay on Bugs
    The United States reportedly told China it will not extend a Dec. 17 deadline that could affect billions of dollars of trade. As reported in Maritime Week, on Sept. 18, USDA published an "interim rule" aimed at preventing the Asian longhorned beetle from entering the United States in solid wood packing material (SWPM) from China. The pest, which has no natural predators in the United States, poses a serious threat to U.S. forests. Shipments leaving China as of Dec 17 will be required to have a Chinese government certificate stating that the SWPM was heat treated, fumigated or treated with preservatives to kill the Asian longhorned beetle.
