  • L'intégration des activités de Nedlloyd assure à Danzas une position de leader
    Le groupe logistique suisse Danzas, qui fait partie de Deutsche Post, a réalisé une hausse de 76% du bénéfice opérationnel et une hausse de 56% du bénéfice net l'année dernière. Ces hausses sont attribuées aux acquisitions et au développement des activités d'une part et à l'introduction d'une nouvelle structure d'autre part. Dans ce contexte, la division Eurocargo (transport terrestre européen) a enregistré une progression remarquable, grâce entre autres à la coopération avec DFDS. Danzas table sur une nouvelle croissance en 1999, principalement dans le transport terrestre européen suite à l'intégration des activités de transport et de distribution de Nedlloyd, qui vient d'être repris par Deutsche Post l'année dernière.
  • Anvers ambitionne le transit pour l'Europe et l'outre-mer
    Le commerce extérieur de l'Espagne est en grande partie axé sur l'Union européenne. Environ 70% des importations et des exportations du pays proviennent de ou sont destinés aux autres Etats membres. Les relations commerciales de l'Espagne avec l'Europe de l'Est et avec des marchés d'outre-mer comme les Etats-Unis sont également en pleine expansion. La mission portuaire anversoise, en visite promotionnelle en Espagne, a présenté, lundi à Madrid et hier à Bilbao, un message simple aux chargeurs et transporteurs espagnols: le port scaldien peut devenir un maillon important dans leurs chaînes de transport et de distribution et cela tant pour les destinations européennes que pour les destinations d'outre-mer.
  • Vers une guerre du remorquage au Havre?
    Le port du Havre va-t-il, comme certains ports du nord, connaître une guerre du remorquage? Ce n'est pas impossible. Ce qui est sûr, c'est qu'un nouveau venu se présente sur ce théâtre opérationnel, qui entamera ses activités en juillet prochain avec 3 unités. Il s'agit de l'entreprise fraîchement constituée "Société Nouvelle de Remorquage du Havre s.a.", société de droit français.
  • A. Smeulders (UEA): travailler en dessous du prix est au détriment de la confiance
    "Etre le meilleur et le meilleur marché, ce n'est pas possible. Il faut travailler dans un esprit de sécurité avec la garantie d'un bon service. Le secteur de l'expédition a évolué dans l'optique de solutions globales et c'est là que réside notre avenir, mais cela implique que nous prenions une grande part de responsabilité. Les partenariats doivent être mûrement réfléchis et la confiance doit être basée sur des services de qualité. Travailler en dessous du prix équivaut à miner cet esprit de confiance." Annie Smeulders, présidente de l'Union des Expéditeurs et logisticiens d'Anvers, qui occupait récemment la tribune du Maritieme Kring Antwerpen, a évoqué certaines vérités qui ne sont d'ailleurs pas propres à la seule fonction d'expéditeur.
