  • SCL désormais contrôlé à 100% par Safmarine
    L'armement SCL (Safmarine-CMBT Line) a définitivement perdu le caractère belge qui lui restait encore: le groupe CMB vient en effet de céder sa participation de 25% dans SCL à son partenaire sud-africain Safmarine. SCL avait été formé par la fusion des intérêts de Safmarine et de CMBT dans un partenariat à 51%/49%; dans la mesure, toutefois, où le groupe sud-africain détenait 49% de CMBT Investments, Safmarine détenait en réalité 75% de l'armement de ligne. La transaction porte également sur les 51% que CMB détenait dans CMBT Investments. Cela signifie que le groupe CMB se retire complètement du liner en Europe du Nord, alors que via son holding Almabo, il maintient une présence dans ce secteur en Europe du Sud via sa filiale Transinsular. C'est une page de l'histoire de la flotte marchande belge qui est ainsi tournée.
