Haji-Ioannou accuses Haven judge of bias GREEK shipowner Stelios Haji-Ioannou has described current legal proceedings against him in Genoa as a "carbon copy" of the extradition hearings against Chile's General Pinochet in the UK, accusing the Italian judge of political bias. Resignation Greek foreign minister Theodoros Pangalos announces his resignation in Athens yesterday over the row surrounding the arrest of Kurdish PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan by Turkish agents in Nairobi. Ocalan's capture has forced the resignation of two other Greek cabinet members - public order minister Philipos Petsalnikos and interior minister Alekos Papadopoulos.

Petroleum Geo set to scale back operations Oilfield service company Petroleum Geo-Services is to cut its workforce by an unspecified amount and reduce its seismic data acquisition and processing capacity in the face of falling oil prices. UK ports set to face greater scrutiny The UK government is preparing to publish a white paper on the ports sector, based on an outline policy paper released to the industry this week. Grain rates set for sharp rise GRAIN freight rates are expected to rise during 1999, with a sharp impact in trade volume forecast after the end of the present fiscal year. MPs demand reversal of coastguard revamp AN all-party parliamentary committee has called for a reversal of the government strategy that last year merged the UK Coastguard Agency with the Marine Safety Agency to form the Maritime & Coastguard Agency.

MUA, Patrick in Darling Harbour dust-up Cargo handling on several vessels at Darling Harbour came to a standstill yesterday after members of Maritime Union of Australia walked off the job as a result of a dispute with stevedore Patrick. The walkout came at a bad time for Patrick and Sydney and affected four vessels, including a car carrier which would have been in and out of the port within hours. Two containerships, one from ANZDL and one from Columbus Line, were also affected as was a bulk carrier carrying a consignment of steel. The ANZDL vessel, the Direct Falcon, had only a few containers left to finish working when she was hit by the walkout. 'Two minutes to midnight" for Aust shipping BHP Transport's decision to withdraw from the trans-Tasman trades should start alarm bells ringing in federal parliament over the issue of providing the Australian shipping industry with fiscal incentives similar to those available in other countries, according to the Australian Shipowners Association. The association's chief executive, Lachlan Payne, said yesterday BHPT's decision highlighted the need for the government to act decisively on the findings of the shipping reform working group established to investigate ways of implementing the recommendations of the Shipping Reform Group. Anderson restates MUA warning Federal Transport Minister John Anderson yesterday told the Maritime Union of Australia to ensure that redundancy agreements with stevedores were in place before the 30 April deadline in order that the stevedores could access the $250 million government redundancy fund. Mr Anderson had warned the MUA about this a fortnight ago as well. In answer to a 'Dorothy Dixer' in parliamentary question time, Mr Anderson noted that the 12 stevedoring companies which submitted restructuring plans by 31 December last year, had until 30 April to implement those plans under the provisions of the government's reform package. ANLCL finalises staff, agency changes ANL Container Line has finalised a number of agency and staff changes as its business is integrated with owner Compagnie Generale Maritime in Australia. From the first of next month, ANLCL will open a new branch office in Fremantle, replacing the third party agency arrangement with Columbus Line, which ends on 28 February. Former P&O Nedlloyd executive Steve Neates will join ANLCL as West Australian manager, based in Fremantle. 'For sale' sign up on Keppel Cairncross The decision to advertise for expressions of interest in Keppel Cairncross's ship repair yard in Brisbane should not be viewed as an indication that the yard is in immediate danger of being closed, a source said yesterday. The source said the decision, by the voluntary administrators appointed to the company last month, was in line with their efforts to ensure that Keppel Cairncross could trade its way out of financial difficulties. "Basically this was the intended direction anyhow, because it's what you've got to do," the source said.
