Des batteuses et presses à balles de Zeebrugge vers l'Oural Trente batteuses et autant de presses à balles quitteront le port de Zeebrugge à bord d'un caboteur à faible tirant d'air pour un périple de 6.000 kilomètres vers le coeur de la Russie. La moitié de cette distance sera parcourue sur les voies navigables russes. Le voyage prendra 18 jours. Hoyer satisfait à l'issue d'une année 1998 difficile "Tandis que l'année 1997 pouvait être qualifié de "bonne" pour nous, 1998 peut l'être de "satisfaisante". Cette année-ci, par contre, tant le chiffre d'affaires que les résultats ont été en deçà du budget au premier trimestre. Mais nous croyons que le creux de la vague a été atteint". C'est ce qu'a annoncé Thomas Hoyer, PDG de la société hambourgeoise de transport citernier Hoyer. Il demeure toutefois confiant et en veut pour preuve les investissements prévus pour 1999, qui devraient être de 100 mio. de DEM (51,1 mio. d'EUR). Sabena: croissance ralentie au deuxième trimestre Le ralentissement de la croissance au deuxième trimestre (8,2%, contre 24,2% au premier trimestre) fait en sorte que pour le premier semestre 1999, Sabena ne note plus qu'une augmentation du nombre de passagers de 14,8%. Toutefois, elle est largement supérieure à la moyenne européenne qui tourne autour de 7%. Recrudescence des trafics au port d'Ostende Le trafic maritime au port d'Ostende connait graduellement un regain d'activité. Cet été, Transeurope Shipping Line (TSL) relancera son service passagers sur Ramsgate, tandis que Hoverspeed remporte un franc succès avec ses deux Seacats sur la liaison de Douvres. Le port de commerce a récemment accueilli un nouveau trafic de coton et les arrivages de gravier connaitront bientôt une nouvelle impulsion.
