TRUCKING INDUSTRY WORLDWIDE * Latvia - Spring to bring further business failures for Latvian haulage
Riga,Latvia -Leasing Life (UK), by Fred Crawley -9 Oct 2009: -- Despite hopes that Baltic transport markets would begin to improve at the tail end of this year, Latvia's international trucking association has stated that improvement is only likely to come after a low point in 2010's first quarter... Valdis Trezins, head of the Latvijas Auto association of international road freight firms, said that the beginning of the year -always a low point for cargo volumes- was likely to be particularly grim in 2010... September saw Latvian cargo export grow in response to Russian customs authorities restricting access to trucks from neighbouring Lithuania. However, now that bureaucratic pressure has been stepped up at the Latvian/Russian border, things have flattened once again... (Photo from englishrussia: truck without a wheel)
* Rwanda - Gov'ts to Cut On Transport Barriers
Kigali,Rwanda -All Africa, by Emmanuel R. Karake -6 October 2009: -- A council of Ministers of countries along the Northern Corridor has resolved to adopt a wide range of reforms to reduce tariff and non- tariff barriers that have traditionally increased the cost of doing business on the route... Speaking to The New Times in an interview yesterday, Infrastructure Minister, Linda Bihire said the council in its sitting in Kenya agreed to fix existing gaps in policy, regulation and laws among the member states... Kenya, currently allows 48 tones per truck while other members accept 58 - implying that Rwandan transporters will soon increase cargo on their trucks coming in from Nairobi by 10 tones...(Photo from xpeditionexchange: africa loaded truck)
