  • Les ports de la côte est de l'Amérique du Nord ont-ils intérêt à coopérer?
    Les ports américains de la côte est et ceux du Canada (St-John et Halifax) sont actuellement engagés dans une course pour obtenir l'implantation d'un grand hub pour trafics containérisés. Cette situation a pris une acuité particulière depuis que le tandem Mærsk/Sea-Land a rompu ses négociations avec New York/New Jersey. L'objectif est de réaliser un grand terminal dédié à l'échelle de porte-containers de 6 à 7.000 TEU. Le professeur N. Shashikumar, de l'académie de marine du Maine, qui occupait la tribune d'une des sessions de la 8e WCTR, a fait une analyse des causes et conséquences du dilemme auquel sont cronfrontés ces ports. Une des conclusions du débat qui a suivi, est qu'il serait judicieux pour les ports en question d'aller au-delà du stade - non encore réalisé - de la coopération entre eux, pour atteindre celui d'une alliance pour contre-balancer la puissance des alliances constituées par les armements.

Après avoir été parmi les premiers à l'obtenir dans leur spécialité, les dirigeants de Groupeco vont donc renoncer au label ISO 9002. D'où un débat qui se développe en France et dont l'intérêt dépasse évidemment le cadre franco-français.
  • DSR-Senator: nouvelle injection pour assurer la stabilité financière

C'est ce qu'a confirmé le président de Hanjin Sooho Cho lors de son passage à Brême. Au total, l'armement sud-coréen aura déjà injecté 220 mio. de DEM dans sa filiale, contre 155 mio. pour les partenaires. Selon Sooho Cho, la crise asiatique a pour effet d'avoir retardé d'un an l'évolution de DSR-Senator vers une situation d' équilibre, qui devrait être atteinte à la fin de cette année.

  • Stalled asset transfer threatens NR sell-off
