POL Atlantic se retire de l'Atlantique L'armement POL Atlantic C' Ltd, une des divisions de Polish Ocean Lines, a décidé de mettre un terme à ses activités sur l'Atlantique. C'est en fait la première victime de la dégradation qui se manifeste sur ce théâtre opérationnel depuis deux ans. La chute des taux y est devenue telle que la situation est effectivement insoutenable, surtout lorsqu'on est co-chargeur. En outre, la situation économique très difficile que connaissent certaines régions de l'hinterland voisin de la Pologne n'est guère faite pour contribuer à l'alimentation en grands volumes.
Stena Line est prêt à repartir de l'avant Le groupe Stena Line a replongé dans le rouge l'année dernière. Le bénéfice opérationnel consolidé (après amortissements) est resté positif à 152 millions de SEK (655 mio. en 97), mais les coûts de restructuration et les charges financières se traduisent par une perte avant impôts de 324 mio. de SEK (contre un bénéfice avant impôts de 151 mio. en 97). L'armement se montre cependant confiant dans l'avenir: "Au cours des dernières années, Stena Line s'est préparé à l'abolition des ventes hors taxes en 1999. Des investissements importants ont été faits au niveau de la flotte et des terminaux, P&O Stena Line a vu le jour, une nouvelle organisation axée sur le client a été créée et un programme global de réduction des coûts a été mis en œuvre. Le groupe a également été refinancé et s'appuie sur une position financière solide. La réalisation de ces changements a exercé des contraintes financières et opérationnelles importantes sur la compagnie. Mais Stena Line a entamé 1999 avec une organisation prête à agir de manière agressive sur le marché."
Nouveau produit Transfracht vers Cologne Les premier et deux mars, un nouveau produit Transfracht sera proposé à partir de Rotterdam et d'Anvers/Zeebrugge en direction de Cologne. Le service sera assuré à raison d'un départ quotidien à partir de Rotterdam et de deux départs par semaine à partir d'Anvers et Zeebrugge. Les trains auront une capacité unitaire de 72 TEU. A noter que sur la partie Rotterdam-Cologne, Transfracht coopèrera avec une compagnie ferroviaire privée disposant de ses propres locomotives et des licences nécessaires pour utiliser les réseaux néerlandais et allemands. En Belgique, aucune entreprise ne dispose d'une telle licence, de sorte que la partie Anvers-Cologne est proposée en coopération avec les services de B-Cargo et DB Cargo.
Duisbourg se positionne dans la logistique Selon des chiffres provisoires, 48,5 mio. de t de marchandises ont été transportées par voie d'eau dans la zone portuaire Rhin/Ruhr. La part des ports publiques dans ce volume global s'élève à 17,1 mio. de t, soit 200.000 t de plus qu'en 1997. Cette croissance est due à une hausse du trafic de charbon. Les minerais par contre ont régressé. Les deux terminaux à containers de Duisbourg ont transbordé l'année dernière quelque 1,7 mio. de t (155.000 TEU).
