  • Henri Paës & C' vise un CA d'un milliard de BEF en 2000
    A l'origine, il s'agissait d'une entreprise d'expédition dont les activités étaient centrées sur le port d'Anvers et le marché belge. Au fil des décennies, la firme Henri Paës & C', qui a gardé son caractère familial - c'est la quatrième génération qui tient la barre - a considérablement évolué, ayant étendu son rayon d'action à l'expédition maritime import-export, au transport routier international, au stockage et à la distribution. Depuis quelques années, sous l'impulsion d'une jeune direction qui a su tirer les conclusions de certaines évolutions en cours et prévisibles, l'entreprise a résolument opté pour une diversification géographique, axée sur la logistique de distribution à valeur ajoutée. Cette stratégie est axée sur deux pôles de croissance: la France et la Pologne. Enfin, cette politique d'expansion va de pair avec une restructuration qui prendra sa forme définitive dès le début de l'année prochaine.

  • No market for pilots
    A rapidly accelerating supply problem and the high level of professionalism required effectively means there is no market for pilotage and no point in competitive tendering, according to the president of the Australian Marine Pilots Association Captain Steve Pelecanos.
    In a provocative address to the 36th biennial conference of the Association of Australian Port and Marine Authorities yesterday, Captain Pelecanos told delegates Australian pilots led the world in initiatives such as risk management, performance auditing and advanced skills training, yet pilots were still too often thought of merely as "purveyors of local knowledge".

  • Latvian Shipping Blames Losses On Privatization Delay
    Latvian Shipping blamed its eight-month loss largely on delays in the company's privatization. The firm had earlier planned a profit of $8 million this year, but said it was still doing better than in 1997, when it saw a loss of $4.43 million in the first three quarters alone. Latvian Shipping, which is said to be the world's 19th largest shipper, operates a 67-vessel fleet. Its privatization has been delayed since late 1997 due to unresolved debt claims and political bickering.
