  • La Hessenatie traite 65% du trafic containers à Anvers
    "C'est vrai que le trafic maritime du port d'Anvers est en recul cette année, ainsi que le démontrent les statistiques du premier semestre (-7,8%), toutefois, les tendances ne sont pas partout aussi néfastes. En ce qui concerne la Hessenatie, nous réalisons de bonnes prestations. Ainsi, dans le domaine des containers, notre progression à la fin juin était de 8,3% pour ce qui est du poids, contre une hausse de 4,1% pour le trafic du port dans son ensemble, tandis qu'en nombre de TEU, notre progression était de 6% contre +4,5% pour le port. Notre part de marché des containers à Anvers est maintenant de 65%". C'est ce que nous a déclaré J. Pellens, le patron de la Hessenatie, qui ne nous a pas caché son inquiétude quant à l'avenir de certaines de ses activités dans le port scaldien.
  • Zeebrugge: la MBZ propose un site de 30 ha à Cobelfret
    Notre confrère Lloyd's List aurait-il pris ses désirs pour des réalités? Dans une de ses dernières éditions, était annoncée la conclusion d'un compromis entre la MBZ qui gère le port de Zeebrugge et FCT, relatif au contrat Cobelfret. Si l'actuel terminal FCT doit être uniquement réservé aux trafics containérisés en lo/lo, la solution de compromis consisterait à développer l'extrémité intérieure du site, dans le ponlongement de la ligne du quai, et d'utiliser un quai de retour pour des activités ro/ro. Cette solution ne fournirait que la moitié des emplacements et superficies dont Cobelfret à besoin, et cela ne pourrait être prêt qu'en l'an 2001, ce qui signifie que l'armement devrait attendre. Interrogé sur cette évolution, le président F. Traen nous a déclaré que ce point de vue était totalement erroné.
  • Hanjin aura transporté plus de 2 mio. de TEU en 1999
    L'armement Sud-coréen Hanjin est en passe de battre tous les records au cours de sa 21e année d'existence. Dans un communiqué, l'armement signale qu'au cours des sept premiers mois de l'année il a transporté un mio. de TEU, ce qui en fait la première entreprise maritime coréenne à avoir traité un tel volume record au cours de cette période. Ce trafic était en hausse de 9% par rapport à la période correspondante de l'année précédente. L'année dernière le cap du million de TEU avait été atteint en août. Cette évolution signifie que Hanjin aura transporté à la fin de l'année un volume supérieur à 2 mio. de TEU.
  • Vers un conflit du remorquage dans les ports français?
    Il semble qu'on se dirige tout droit vers un conflit du remorquage dans les ports maritimes français suite à l'attribution d'une licence de remorquage à une nouvelle société de remorquage française. A une signature près, Société Nouvelle du Remorquage Havrais a obtenu les autorisations nécessaires pour entamer l'activité de remorquage au Havre.
