  • "Nous avons assez de routes, il faut de nouvelles pistes de réflexion"
    Le gouvernement flamand est au pouvoir depuis un peu plus de 100 jours. Certains accents ont été déplacés, entre autres dans la politique de transport. Seul un seul ministre du gouvernement précédent est toujours en fonction, à savoir Steve Stevaert, qui était responsable du Transport et de l'Aménagement du Territoire. Ce dernier département n'est plus de son ressort ("La séparation de ces deux ministères est une bonne chose, car les intérêts sont parfois contradictoires"). La nouvelle appellation - "Mobilité" - souligne la nouvelle approche. Nous avons rencontré Stevaert pour discuter de sa future politique. Le ministre plaide pour une économie de transport plus écologique, le transport fluvial et ferroviaire devant être encouragé. "Il nous faut aborder de nouvelles pistes de réflexion", a déclaré Stevaert. Voici les grandes lignes de l'interview, que vous retrouvez in extenso en page 5.
  • Anvers doit prendre exemple sur la politique TI de Singapour
    Dans son intervention devant la Belgian-Luxembourg Association à Singapour (BLAS), le président du groupe AXE, Christian Leysen, a déclaré que si Anvers souhaitait devenir un centre de compétence et de savoir au niveau des technologies de l'information (TI), il avait tout intérêt à prendre exemple sur l'approche de Singapour. "Anvers dispose d'un potentiel important de connaissance en matière des TI, avec notamment Apics et Seagha, mais roule de temps en temps avec le frein à main", dit-il en déplorant le manque d'initiatives dans la ville scaldienne.
  • Anvers: le secteur du conventionnel/ breakbulk attend des mesures concrètes
    Au fur et à mesure que l'on approche de la fin de l'année, le trafic maritime du port d'Anvers se redresse progressivement, toutefois le processus de récupération s'est quelque peu ralenti pendant le mois de septembre. En effet, après 9 mois, le trafic global se situait, ainsi que signalé dans notre précédente édition, à 85.220.078 t, en recul de 5,4% par rapport à la période correspondante de l'année précédente. A la fin août le recul était de 5,9% et de - 6,91% à la fin juillet. Ceci étant, le rafic des containers est toujours en hausse, cette fois de 7% en TEU, contre 4% à la fin du premier semestre. En volume la croissance est de 7,1%
  • Freightliner fait ses premiers pas dans le transport conventionnel
    Freightliner a effectué la semaine dernière ses premiers pas dans le transport conventionnel par rail. L'opérateur ferroviaire intermodal, qui se concentre sur le transport de containers maritimes, a signé un contrat d'une durée de huit ans avec Railtrack pour le transport conventionnel de matériel ferroviaire nécessaire pour la réalisation des investissements que projette l'exploitant du réseau ferré britannique. Freightliner entre ainsi en concurrence directe avec EWS, dont l'activité est axée sur ce même transport conventionnel.
