A session of the chief executives of national shippers* organizations, scheduled in Bangkok on Sept. 1, leads off the series of meetings. This is to be followed Sept. 2 by separate meetings of the chief executives of national shipowners’ associations and those of national port authorities. On the third day, the re presentatives from the three sectors are to con vene in a joint meeting. Main subjects at the first joint meeting in clude port clearance pro cedures and the simplifi cation of documentation, the concept of joint plan ning of shipping services and cooperation be tween shippers, ship owners and port author ities. Coal carriers equal record freight rates LONDON (AFP) - Record equalling rates were paid by the Japanese for coal ship ments out of the Hampton Roads last week in the freight market, before slightly softer conditions dev eloped. Brisk trading was seen generally with Soviet and Chinese government charterers busy in the period section in com petition with commercial interests anxious to cover their forward commit ments in the face of rising freight charges. The Japan Line con ceded $27 a ton for a September 5,000-ton coal shipment out of the Hampton Roads, to equal the May peak, but Kawasaki was able to fix at $26.7 5 for a similar cargo later in the week. Meanwhile out of mobile (Alabama) $27.50 a ton was paid for another coal shipment to Japan. Coal also featured in the trans-Atlantic trades with a contract for six or eight cargoes of 55/60,000 tons (one a quarter commencing last quarter 1980) arranged out of the Hampton Roads at $10.75, which is about $1.75 below the present going rate for single voyages. Soviet charterers were reported to have booked at least four vessels on time-charter, including a 35,000 tonner for a trans-Atlantic round voyage from the Medi terranean at $11,000 a day. Chinese charterers booked vessels in the grain trade for single voyages out of the US Gulf at a steady $41 per ton for 30,000 tonners. They also arranged two sulphur shipments out of Vancouver on a fairly prompt basis. Their interest in the time-charter market re mained but on a less in tensive scale, with re ports of only three vessels fixed compared with at least eight the week before. South American charterers were active in The management of the Port of Manila (POM) yesterday said it will cen tralize all information regarding the movement of containers inside the Manila South Harbor. Reginaldo Labilles, head of POM’s container control center (CCC), said this move is in line with the management’s thrust of decongesting the harbor. Labilles said the talley ■ sheets furnished by the arrastre operator and the shipping agents will be consolidated to monitor effectively the movement of containerized cargoes. If the volume of cargo being handled is about to exceed the allowable limit of 5,000 twenty equivalent units, (the present capacity of South Harbor) then the CCC could immediately recommend the transfer of some of the containers to outside container yards and container freight stations, Labilles said. Labilles said that by l controlling the movet ment of cargoes, the CCC I will be able to identify' i those containers which L are overstaying (stacked > for 15 days or more), r As a means of control, the CCC will regularly j receive the daily situa1 tion report on these con1 tainer yards and freight i stations. 1 Labilles added that 1 the new system is ex‘ pected to help greatly in * the billing and collection of port charges on empty 5 and loaded containers. ’ An example of this is ’ the collection of dues ’ from the arrastre operar , tor, Labilles said. (PNA) period business, too, particularly the Peru vians. Rates began to harden in this sector as evi denced by the $7 per ton per month (about $13,800 daily) paid to a 59,000 tonner for 12 months trading (up about $50 cents on re cent fixing).
