  • La FMA insiste sur l'autonomisation rapide et complète du service de pilotage

Voilà comment la Fédération maritime d'Anvers (FMA) exprime sa déception dans son dernier rapport annuel concernant l'évolution du dossier des pilotes. La Fédération insiste depuis longtemps déjà sur la réorganisation approfondie du service de pilotage.
  • 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). La direction du groupe est confiante quant à une poursuite de cette évolution positive. Elle compte pouvoir croître entre autres dans la logistique européenne.
  • Conti-Lines lance deux nouveaux services d'Anvers vers la COA
    L'armement belge Conti-Lines, qui s'est spécialisé dans les trafics de lignes régulières essentiellement axées sur le conventionnel/ breakbulk et sur des niches de marché, poursuit l'extension de ses activités en lançant deux nouveaux services au départ d'Anvers, son port de base. 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.
