Inchcape Shipping Services goes on the attack after sale clinched Inchcape Shipping Services, the world's largest ship agency business, will undertake an agressive campaign to increase market share following its purchase by Electra Fleming, the venture capital firm, in a deal which is worth '47.5m ($77m). Strintzis signs Hellenic deal AN emotional ceremony was held at Hellenic Shipyards yesterday as Greece's largest shipyard signed a landmark contract with Strintzis Lines to build the first of what is hoped to be a series of three passenger-vehicle ferries for the stocklisted operator. Korea yards rocked by share sales AS the South Korean economy shows signs of bottoming out and returning to positive growth, foreign investors are selling shares in the country's major shipbuilders, since the yards' profitability is expected to deteriorate with the rising value of the won. Steel exports decline as competition stunts demand South Korean steel mills are suffering from a drastic decline in overseas shipments of steel. Decision day looms for P&I sector WITH the approach of the February 20 P&I renewal - the day on which the ice typically broke on the Baltic allowing seaborne trade to resume - many owners are contemplating whether to renew their P&I cover with a marine mutual or test the waters of a fixed premium facility.

Tristan Vieljeux à la présidence du groupe CMA-CGM Jacques Saade, qui a pris l'initiative de renoncer à ses mandats de président de CGM et de CMA, a présenté comme candidat à sa succession Tristan Vieljeux, qui sera donc élu très prochainement à ces fonctions. Rouen a enregistré en 1998 son meilleur résultat depuis cinq ans En 1998, le trafic maritime du port de Rouen s'est élevé à 21,2 millions de tonnes, ce qui représente un gain de 6% par rapport à 1997. C'est le meilleur résultat enregistré depuis cinq ans. Il tient en particulier à la croissance générale des vracs et au développement de filières spécialisées comme les containers sur les lignes Nord/Sud, les produits forestiers et papetiers et les sucres. Inchcape Shipping Service repris par Electra Fleming Ainsi que nous l'avions annoncé à la fin du mois de novembre dernier, le réseau d'agences maritimes "Inchcape Shipping Services" a été vendu au groupe d'investissement privé britannique Electra Fleming pour un montant de 47,5 millions de GBP, soit 2,77 milliards de BEF ou 68,89 millions d'EUR. Selon le nouveau propriétaire, le réseau restera tel quel et opérera sous le même nom avec la même organisation et le même management. IATA organise une nouvelle conférence sur le Cargo Agency Agreement L'International Air Transport Association (IATA) organisera en mars prochain une nouvelle conférence consacrée au Cargo Agency Agreement (CAA), le contrat de base qui règle officiellement les rapports entre les compagnies aériennes et les expéditeurs de fret aérien. Le texte définitif sur lequel les compagnies aériennes devront se prononcer à l'occasion de la conférence reste néanmoins inacceptable aux yeux des expéditeurs. C'est ce que nous a confié notre compatriote Herman Donker, qui suit le dossier à différents les niveaux.

ACCC, MUA to 'discuss' Newcastle The Maritime Union of Australia has indicated it is prepared to meet with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to discuss recent developments in the port of Newcastle. The commission wrote to the MUA last week seeking a meeting to discuss the dispute that has affected the Eastern Basin Distribution Centre, to which the union has responded advising that its national secretary, John Coombs, is interstate and not due to return to Sydney until Thursday. The fact that the vessel at the centre of this dispute, the Kapitan Betkhar, has been moved and is no longer being held up has taken some pressure off the need for a meeting to discuss the situation. Anderson closes speeding loophole Operators of heavy vehicles registered under the Federal Interstate Registration Scheme can no longer rely on a 'loophole' in the law which allowed them to avoid the 'three-strikes-and-your-out' speeding regulations in Victoria, NSW and Queensland. Transport Minister John Anderson announced on Sunday that vehicles egistered under FIRS were now liable to have their registrations suspended if they were caught speeding at more than 15kmh above speed limits, more than three times in three years. He said the government wanted to rule out any possibility that operators of FIRS vehicles could break speeding laws in the knowledge the states and territories could not suspend their vehicle's registrations. Doulos - sailing the sea of cross-cultural understanding The world's oldest active ocean-going ship, the Doulos, visited Fremantle this week on another leg of a goodwill mission for the German non-profit charity organisation, Gute Bucher for Alle (GBA). GBA -- or Good Books for All -- bought the Doulos in the late 1970s to hold the world's largest floating book fair. The book fair is used as a tool for promoting cultural exchange with the vessel being staffed by a crew of 300 volunteers from 30 countries. Lack of coordination "biggest hurdle": Telford There are too may ports in Australia, says divisional director of Toll Transport, Don Telford. Speaking on Survival Of Regional Ports In Australia at this week's Beyond The Waterfront Reforms conference in Melbourne, he said that to his reckoning there were 57 regional ports. He said these ports lacked supporting infrastructure with poor land facilities and rail and road connections, combined with no intermodal strategy. This meant low facility utilisation and no economies of scale because the ports were unable to justify modern cargo handling equipment and this led to inefficient cargo handling. Ansett rejects freight sale story Ansett Australia yesterday described as "speculative" media reports that its door-to-door retail freight business has been sold to the Dutch-owned TNT Australia. In a statement, Ansett said the sale process for the loss-making door-to-door business was continuing. "No sale has been finalised," Ansett said. "Negotiations regarding the sale are continuing." The airline's statement came after an article in yesterday's Sydney Morning Herald and The Age which said TNT Australia had outbid Mayne Nickless for the operations. The article, quoting an industry source, said TNT was always seen as the frontrunner. It said Ansett paid out some redundancy packages to Ansett air freight staff last week and that part of the sale deal was a condition that the freight was still carried on Ansett aircraft.
