Taiwanese charterer in 'financial difficulties' A prominent Taiwanese dry bulk charterer National Shipping Agency Corporation is in financial difficulties and redelivering ships ahead of schedule, according to reports in the London market, write Tony Gray and Emily Redding. Clubs set to form first supermutual Two of the strongest P&I clubs within the International Group - the Standard Club and the Britannia Club - could join forces to create the industry's first marine supermutual, following a preliminary agreement between their management companies to merge. Moody's lowers Global Ocean Carriers rating The rating on Global Ocean Carriers' junk bonds has been downgraded due to concern about the outcome of the dry cargo operator's restructuring strategy. Finnlines hit by decline in Russian transit traffic FINNLINES' profits before taxes was E18.8m ($20m) in the first fourmonths of this year compared with E109.3m in 1998. Dockwise delivery Dockwise, the Belgian heavy transport firm has successfully delivered a power barge newbuilding from her builders in Singapore to the Indian subcontinent. Built at Singmarine for Wartsila NSD, the 9,500 ton floating power plant was transported to Chittagong in Bangladesh, from where it will be towed up-river towards Haripur. Dockwise's heavy transport carrier Tern completed the transportation of the cargo, which included a support barge, in a period of five days. Operators hold back from the urge to merge OPERATORS in the chemical tanker trades are holding back from the merger mania sweeping other sections of the maritime and oil complex - and are even being super-cautious over entering pooling arrangements. OTAL annual results OTAL has taken delivery of its first new building and reported improved annual results. Kindia is the first of two 1,600 teu containerships being built for the group by South Korea's Hanjin Heavy Industries. The West African shipping group, based in London, revealed it had made record pre-tax profits of $6.34m in 1998, up from $2.2m a year earlier, as turnover reached $148m from $131m. OTAL's Bob Bains said the developments were a testament to the group's strength in its specialist trades. India in Rs30bn plan for new container berths THE Mumbai Port Trust has earmarked an investment of Rs30bn ($706m) for the construction of three container berths, projecting 800 m out into the sea.

Le désenclavement des terminaux à containers de la Rive gauche impliquerait un tunnel ferroviaire au Liefkenshoek Théoriquement, c'est vers la fin de 2001 qu'une première section du 3e terminal à containers à marée, implanté en bordure de la future darse au sud du village de Doel, sera opérationnelle. Dès 2002, plusieurs centaines de milliers de containers y seront manutentionnés dans le cadre des trafics propres à l'armement MSC, qui devraient atteindre à cette époque un million de TEU. En considérant qu'une partie de ce trafic maritime est destiné ou est en provenance des Pays-Bas, d'Allemagne, de Suisse et d'autres régions de l'Est, se pose la question de la desserte ferroviaire de l'ensemble des terminaux qui borderont ladite darse. Il s'agit d'un sujet de première préoccupation au sein de la SNCB Louis Dreyfus Citrus construit un terminal pour jus de fruits concentrés à Gand Le groupe Louis Dreyfus Citrus, troisième producteur de jus d'orange au monde, a décidé de construire son propre terminal dans le port de Gand, par où transite déjà une partie de ses concentrés de jus d'orange brésilien destinés au marché européen. Selon des informations confirmées par des sources portuaires locales, l'investissement se monterait à quelque 800 millions de BEF (20 mio. d'EUR) et la nouvelle installation devrait être opérationnelle en novembre prochain. A terme, quelque 200.000 tonnes de concentrés du groupe Dreyfus devraient passer par le port flamand. Avec la venue de LD Citrus, Gand confirme sa position de premier rang parmi les ports européens pour les trafics de jus de fruit et compense le retour de Tropicana vers Zeebrugge. La Bifa négocie à nouveau avec le Clecat Trois années après que l'organisation britannique des expéditeurs Bifa (British International Freight Association) a quitté le comité de liaison entre le secteur européen de l'expédition et les institutions européennes du Clecat, il semblerait qu'il y ait à nouveau des efforts de rapprochement, annonce le quotidien Lloyd's List. C'est la stratégie présentée par le nouveau président de la Bifa, Colin Beaumont, lors de la dernière réunion annuelle de l'association. Il y a ajouté que la restructuration de la gestion de l'organisation devrait permettre de s'adapter davantage à l'environnement changeant. De nouveaux accords de coopération devraient permettre d'améliorer la compétitivité. Fernand Huts : "J'ai un contrat de concession qui prévoit les trafics ro/ro..." "Nous n'avons pas approché Cobelfret, mais c'est l'inverse, car las d'attendre de la place en suffisance pour leur trafic. Ce transfert de services ferry crée la polémique alors qu'il n'y a aucun problème. Notre concession pour le FCT, signée par la MBZ, stipule clairement que cette dernière s'engage à construire un quai de retour pour trafic roulier et qu'à ses frais, elle implantera le long de notre grand quai une plate-forme ro/ro, ceci sans qu'il soit précisé de délai quant à la construction." C'est ce qu'a déclaré Fernand Huts, le patron du groupe Katoen Natie/Seaport/FCT, lors d'une conférence de presse donnée hier après midi.

MAY 27, 1999
NK To Stay Non-Profit Course Despite mounting pressures to merge or demutualize societies, ClassNK, Japan's shipping classification society reportedly intends to remain a non-profit making and independent body. Preussag In Talks To Form Shipbuilding Alliance Preussag AG is reported to be discussing a shipbuilding alliance -- which would include HDW -- with Sweden's group Celsius. World's Largest Mutual Marine Insurer Formed The world's largest mutual marine insurer -- or Protection & Indemnity (P&I) Club -- is set to be created this summer after a management company acquisition. The manager of the Standard P&I Club reportedly will acquire the manager of the Britannia Club -- the third largest club -- with the intention of merging the two clubs. Asia To Europe Shipping Rates Could Pick Up Container shipping rates from Asia to Europe could be lifted in the second half of 1999 as millennium-related imports put an extra squeeze on limited ship space. In fact, carriers may introduce a temporary rates surcharge on westbound sailings during the peak second half period. Possible Strike Has Shippers Looking Skyward The possibility of the first dockworkers strike on the U.S. West Coast in 28 years has shippers looking to air cargo as a back-up. The Pacific Maritime Association and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) began negotiations here last week on a new three-year contract for 14,500 West Coast dockworkers. To date, though, the tone has not been positive. Passenger Lines Agree To Merger Passenger shipping firm ANEK Lines reportedly has agreed to merge with Rethymniaki. Dispute Arises Over Fate Of Sunken Cruise Ship Maritime authorities and insurers are reported to be at odds regarding the removal of the Sun Vista, the luxury cruise liner that caught fire and sank off the Malaysian last week. Apparently, Malaysian maritime leaders are demanding that Sun Cruises remove the sunken from the Strait of Malacca, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. Insurers claim the ship is outside Malaysia's jurisdiction -- in international waters --and poses no hazard. NCL To Buy Cruise Ship For $351 NCL Holding is reported to be ordering a $351 million cruise ship from Lloyd Werft while taking an option for a second costing $334 million. The first ship will have a capacity for 2,000 beds and is due for delivery in 2001.
