  • Le Conseil des Ministres approuve la nouvelle loi sur le transport routier
    Le Conseil des Ministres a - enfin - approuvé l'avant-projet de loi sur le transport routier de marchandises. La principale innovation est l'introduction du principe de la co-responsabilité du donneur d'ordre. Cet élément-clé de la loi a été la principale pierre d'achoppement, ce qui explique entre autres le temps écoulé entre la remise du document au ministre des Communications - le 19 octobre 1995 - et sa présentation au Conseil des Ministres. L'entrée en vigueur de la nouvelle loi et des arrêtés d'exécution prendra toutefois encore un certain temps. Avec un peu de chance, cela se fera avant la fin de l'année.

"Il est clair que les résultats attendus de l'action de la Commission modifieront profondément la manière d'opérer de cette industrie", a-t-il dit, en ajoutant que cela conduira à un système de transport maritime et multimodal plus efficace, qui serait à bas prix et devrait assurer un meilleur équilibre entre les intérêts des chargeurs et des transporteurs... et nous pensons que ces changements pourraient intervenir plus vite que prévu".
  • Blohm & Voss va construire deux navires à passagers
    Le chantier naval de Hambourg Blohm & Voss construira deux navires à passagers pour compte de Royal Olympic Cruise Lines Inc. (Grèce). La livraison des navires est prévue pour le printemps 2000 et 2001. La commande comprend également l'option pour la construction d'un troisième sistership. Les navires équipés de huit ponts auront une longueur de 593 pieds, une largeur de 84 pieds et un tonnage de 25.000 t.b. Le navire peut accueillir 800 passagers. Grâce à la forme spéciale de leur coque, ces unités auront une vitesse de service remarquable de 27 noeuds. Ils sont donc parmi les navires de croisière les plus rapides au monde. La construction du premier navire débutera ce mois. Royal Olympic dispose actuellement d'une flotte de six navires, qui sont surtout alignés dans la région de la Méditerranée en été. Pendant les mois d'hiver en Europe, les navires se déplacent vers l'Amérique centrale et latine. Une impression d'artiste des nouveaux navires.
  • CCC et Nippress veulent se concentrer sur les transports à délais garantis
    Continental Cargo Carriers (CCC) et Nippress conclueront l'exercice courant, qui prend fin ce mois-ci, sur un chiffre d'affaires cumulé de 1,275 milliard de BEF, dont 925 millions pour CCC. Les deux sociétés se sont extraites du groupe britannique Hogg Robinson par un management buy-out (MBO) il y a six mois. Dans les différents pays où ces entreprises sont actives, les divisions locales de CCC et Nippress sont des business units séparées bénéficiant d'une large indépendance. En Belgique, elles ont décidé de développer d'importantes synergies et de s'axer plus spécifiquement sur les transports à délais garantis entre le UK et le continent.
