  • L'IRU demande la revitalisation d'urgence du transport ferroviaire
    Jusqu'ici, le message de l'Union internationale des Transports Routiers (IRU) était que le rail et la route étaient complémentaires. Aujourd'hui, la délégation de l'IRU à Bruxelles lance un pressant appel à la veille du Conseil européen des Ministres du Transport: libéralisez le rail afin qu'il devienne davantage compétitif et qualitatif. "La libéralisation du rail est une nécessité: sans libéralisation, le rail va disparaître du transport de marchandises en Europe", a déclaré Maarten Labberton, délégué général de l'IRU auprès de l'UE au cours d'une conférence de presse. En lisant entre les lignes, c'est un cri d'alarme pour revitaliser le rail, car sinon l'effondrement de la mobilité sera total.
  • Evergreen entend renforcer sa présence en Europe
    L'armement Evergreen fait construire une série de 18 PC post-panamax de type U, d'une capacité unitaire de 5.364 TEU, filant à une vitesse de 25 noeuds. Le 3 décembre dernier, au chantier naval de Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, il a été procédé au lancement du 13ème PC de cette série, baptisé "Ever Utile", qui sera aligné dès le mois de mars prochain dans le service régulier entre Hong-Kong/Taiwan et la côte ouest des USA. Par ailleurs, l'armement annonce d'importants changements dans sa structure européenne, Londres prenant le pas sur Hambourg.
  • Anvers: adaptation modérée de certains tarifs de manutention
    La communauté maritime et portuaire anversoise, donc le secteur privé, procédera en date du 1er janvier prochain à une adaptation de certains tarifs de manutention que l'on peut qualifier de très modestes compte tenu de certains aspects inhérents aux coûts d'exploitation.
  • Les armateurs allemands accusent les Pays-Bas de concurrence déloyale
    "Nous ne sommes pas contre la concurrence, mais les règles doivent être identiques pour tout le monde", déclare l'administrateur délégué du Verband Deutsche Reeder, Bernd Kröger, dans une interview à Die Welt. Il met en cause le gouvernement néerlandais. Sa politique favoriserait les entreprises maritimes néerlandaises au détriment des étrangères.
