  • CMA entame une réflexionsur les PC de 5.500 TEU
    Les informations que l'on recueille dans les milieux de la construction navale internationale font état d'un intérêt que témoigne le groupe CMA/CGM pour des PC d'une capacité de 5.500 TEU. Il serait question de 3 unités. Renseignements pris à bonne source, il n'y a aucune commande de ce genre en perspective pour l'instant. La direction de l'armement CMA a simplement décidé d'entamer une réflexion sur l'évolution à terme des trois services qu'assure l'armement d'Asie vers l'Europe et retour.
  • La Région flamande informatise la gestion de son réseau fluvial
    La Région flamande va développer un système intégré pour la gestion de ses voies d'eau.

Le réseau RIS s'inscrit dans la volonté des autorités flamandes de rendre la navigation intérieure plus attrayante en tant qu'alternative au transport routier, par le biais d'un meilleur service. Le système, qui est voué à s'intégrer à un vaste réseau européen, sera géré à partir d'Evergem, où une plate-forme opérationnelle 24 heures sur 24 fera également fonction de centre de crise.

BASF (pour la Flandre) et Solvay (pour la Wallonie) prendront à leur charge la coordination des appels. Au total, 62 entreprises chimiques sont impliquées dans ce projet.
  • Liner: vers une restauration générale des taux?
    Les nouvelles qui nous parviennent de divers secteurs géographiques sembleraient indiquer que l'industrie du Liner s'engage progressivement dans la voie de la restauration des taux. Une tendance que les agents maritimes ne manqueront pas d'apprécier. A force de perdre de l'argent, les armateurs commencent à réaliser qu'il est impératif de corriger le tir. Le phénomène le plus marquant dans ce contexte est la volonté qui se manifeste sur le segment eastbound, d'Europe vers l'Asie. Jusqu'à présent, les adaptations annoncées n'ont pas connu leur plein effet, toutefois redressement il y a, d'ailleurs favorisé par une reprise des volumes. La crise financière asiatique semble toucher à sa fin.
