  • Axé sur l'Irlande, BG Freight Line tourne ses regards vers l'Ecosse et la Scandinavie
    L'armement BG Freight Line (1), devenu en 1996 filiale à part entière de Mersey Docks and Harbour Cy, est bien connu des milieux maritimes nord-européens, plus particulièrement anversois et zeebrugeois. En effet, l'armement fréquente Anvers depuis 5 ans avec son service containérisé spécialisé sur la desserte de l'Irlande. Ainsi que nous l'a expliqué Ron Schippers, managing director, que nous avons rencontré en compagnie de son agent anversois Eric D'Hondt, directeur de la firme ACB (Antwerp Container Brokers), il s'agit d'une opération bien structurée, bien gérée, qui a fait ses preuves depuis sa création au début de 1982.
  • Rutges Pays-Bas placé en redressement judiciaire

La plupart des divisions du groupe - dont la filiale belge Brucargo Express - poursuivent leurs activités en attendant de trouver acquéreur.
  • Volvo détient désormais 20% de Scania
    Le groupe suédois Volvo a annoncé vendredi soir qu'il détient désormais plus de 20% des actions et des droits de vote de son principal concurrent Scania. Tout porte à croire qu'il tentera d'aller jusqu'à 25%. Une OPA pure et dure semble exclue en raison du coût trop élevé d'une telle opération, mais Volvo est maintenant, plus que jamais, en mesure d'influer sur l'avenir de Scania. La fureur est grande tant chez Scania que chez Investor, son principal actionnaire avec 45,5%.
  • Les ouvriers portuaires et les hommes de métier approuvent la CCT nationale
    A l'issue d'un référendum, les ouvriers portuaires ont approuvé la nouvelle CCT du secteur portuaire belge avec 75% des voix. Le projet de texte est né d'une négociation avec les employeurs à la mi-avril. La CCT porte sur 1999 et 2000 et sera automatiquement prolongée jusqu'au 30 avril 2001 si un nouvel accord n'intervient pas avant cette date. Des CCT locales devront en outre être négociées au niveau des divers ports.
