  • Flessingue va réaliser un terminal à marée d'une capacité de 2,8 mio. de TEU
    Il en est question depuis de nombreux mois, mais le projet a pris maintenant une tournure bien réelle et semble avoir acquis un caractère inéluctable: Flessingue va de l'avant avec son projet de grand terminal à containers à marée sur l'Escaut. L'installation sera axée sur les trafics assurés par des PC de 3.000 à 6.000 TEU et plus.
  • Le groupe Heppner déficitaire en 1998, malgré une hausse de 8% du CA
    Le groupe français de messagerie et de logistique Heppner a enregistré des pertes l'année passée. Le résultat net s'est inscrit en négatif, à -6,5 mio. de FRF (990.000 EUR). Le recul de la messagerie, la faible rentabilité de la logistique et les investissements massifs réalisés en 1998 ont pesé sur le résultat. La hausse du chiffre d'affaires indique néanmoins une poursuite du développement de l'entreprise.
  • Fret aérien à l'exportation: 5,8 mia. de BEF en 1998 pour le Belux
    Les agents belges de l'IATA ont réalisé un chifre d'affaires net de 4,167 milliards de BEF (103 millions d'EUR) en 1998, une hausse de près de 1,5%. Le top 10 est emmené par Air Express International (AEI), qui reste d'ailleurs le numéro un lorsqu'on tient compte des agents ne faisant pas partie de l'IATA. Dans ce dernier cas, le chiffre d'affaires global s'élève à 5,768 mia. de BEF (143 mio. d'EUR). C'est ce qui ressort des chiffres de CASS Belgium & Luxemburg.
  • Le marché européen de la logistique poursuit son essor
    D'ici quatre ans, la logistique sous contrat représentera en Europe un montant de 57 milliards d'USD. L'Allemagne est loin en tête avec une part de 27,8%, mais l'Espagne et l'Italie enregistrent la plus forte progression. Ce marché sera caractérisé dans les prochaines années par une consolidation et une expansion géographique. Telles sont les principales conclusions d'une étude du bureau d'analyse de marché britannique Datamonitor.
