Saima Avandero achète E1 France L'entreprise logistique italienne Saima Avandero a complètement repris E1 France en portant sa participation dans le groupe Dubois de 13,66% à 41%. Par sa participation dans Saima Avandero, la SNCB entre donc indirectement dans le capital de E1 France, à savoir Dubois. Anvers: Conti-Lines va regrouper ses services au terminal acier de la Hessenatie Dès le 1er janvier prochain, l'armement belge Conti-Lines va concentrer ses services de lignes régulières au terminal aux aciers de la Hessenatie, au nord du bassin Churchill. Ces activités représentent un volume de quelque 400.000 t de marchandises conditionnées en conventionnel/breakbulk, notamment d'importants tonnages de fers et aciers, ce qui dans une certaine mesure justifie le recours à une installation spécialisée. Sécuritis: le combiné pour les produits dangereux en Europe Le réseau Sécuritis vient d'être lancé en France, mais avec des ambitions européennes à court terme. Affichant une vocation de "logistique route & rail", il vise les acheminements de marchandises dangereuses. La démarche s'inscrit dans le cadre de la stratégie des petites entreprises qui préfèrent s'allier plutôt que d'entrer dans un grand groupe.
