  • Forte hausse du CA et du bénéfice de Norbert Dentressangle en 1998

Le chiffre d'affaires a augmenté de pas moins de 33%, passant de 3,19 à 4,24 mia. de FRF (647 mio. d'EUR), et, au moins aussi important, le résultat net a augmenté dans une égale mesure, passant à 107 mio. de FRF (16,3 mia. d'EUR).

  • Conti-Lines lance deux nouveaux services d'Anvers vers la COA

L'armement a le vent en poupe: il a réalisé une excellente performance l'année dernière. Son chiffre d'affaires a dépassé la barre des 3 milliards de BEF (74,4 millions d'EUR) et le bénéfice brut s'est inscrit en hausse de 38%. Au cours de cet exercice, l'armement a traité 132 navires, qui ont transporté 2 millions de tonnes de fret. Dans ce contexte, 62 navires ont fait escale à Anvers, où ils ont généré un trafic de 600.000 t, dont 80% au chargement et 20% à l'entrée.
