  • TACA: l'ESC s'insurge contre le "Business Plan 2000"
    "Les membres de la Taca révisée ont deux choix: ou ils poursuivent dans la voie des conflits juridiques, en opposition avec leur clientèle et avec comme corollaire des amendes pour abus dans le cadre de la concurrence, ou ils peuvent se dissocier du "business Plan 2000" de la TACA et coopérer avec leurs clients dans le but de créer un nouvel environnement commercial stable pour tous. Nous savons que de nombreux armements cherchent à réaliser ce dernier objectif et partant, ils recevront le soutien de leurs clients. Dans un communiqué l'ESC (European Shippers' Council), affirme son opposition au contenu de ce plan, qui prévoit ainsi que publié précédemment des adaptations tarifaires excessives de 600 et 750 dollars respectivement pour un 20' et un 40'.
  • Zeebrugge: le sort du FCT en voie de règlement
    Tout semblerait indiquer qu'une solution soit en cours de négociation en ce qui concerne le sort du FCT (Flanders Container Terminals), terminal à containers dans l'avant-port de Zeebrugge devenu fortement sous-utilisé depuis le départ de l'armement Cast, revenu à Anvers. En effet, des négociations sont en cours entre la MBZ et le groupe FCT en vue de trouver une solution positive allant dans le sens du maintien de la fonction de centre de transbordement pour containers. C'est ce que nous a confirmé Fernand Traen, le président de la MBZ.
  • Anvers: Star Shipping rationalise la représentation générale de ses services containérisés
    L'armement Star Shipping a décidé de procéder à une rationalisation de la représentation générale de ses services containérisés qu'il assure au départ d'Europe du Nord, vers la côte atlantique des Etats Unis, le Golfe US et la côte Pacifique. En ce qui concerne Anvers, il n'y a qu'un seul changement qui intervient, en ce sens que la fonction d'agence générale pour la partie du service axée sur les containers et assurant la desserte de la côte pacifique (Long Beach/LA et Oakland/San Francisco), passera dès le 30 octobre prochain de l'agence ACSA 92 à la firme Atlantic Cargo Services (Atlanticargo), qui intervenait déjà pour les services containérisés à destination de la côte atlantique des USA et du Golfe US. Toutefois, ACSA 92 reste booking et port agent.
