The passengers and most of the 27 crew boarded inflatable rafts and were shuttled to a nearby ship. Nine crew members stayed on board to help with pumping .

Hopefully we will get the vessel out of there without any pollution and with no injuries," he said.

  • Zeebrugge: le terminal vraquier de la ZBM arrêtera ses activités début 2000
    Dans le courant du premier semestre de l'an 2000, la ZBM, filiale du groupe Gantois Sea-Invest, grand spécialiste européen de la manutention des vracs secs, qui exploite le terminal vraquier de Zeebrugge dans l'arrière-port, arrêtera ses activités. Les déchargements de navires de mer prendront fin dès le 1er décembre. Les rechargements maritimes et terrestres pour liquidation de stocks devraient être terminés dans le courant du premier semestre de l'an 2000. Ces trafics seront transférés vers d'autres terminaux que le groupe Sea-Invest exploite à Gand, Anvers et Dunkerque.

  • Le Québec à la recherche d'une politique des transports globale incluant le maritime
    "Notre objectif est d'élaborer une politique maritime visant à obtenir une meilleure utilisation du potentiel que constitue le St Laurent. D'autre part, nous entendons favoriser le développement du cabotage sur le fleuve, ceci dans le cadre d'une philosophie qui consiste à revoir d'une manière fondamentale la gestion de la logistique terrestre dans son ensemble". C'est ce que nous a déclaré Jacques Baril, ministre des Transports du Québec lors d'une récente entrevue en son QG.
  • Gand entend réellement promouvoir le short sea
    Il est beaucoup question ces deux dernières années du développement du short sea, mode de transport maritime qui, dans le contexte intra-européen, doit contribuer à dégager les routes. Il ne se passe pas de conférences ou de colloques maritimes sans qu'on traite le sujet. Chaque discours des politiques ayant les transports dans leurs attributions y consacre un couplet. Dans les faits cependant, les choses n'évoluent guère rapidement. Aussi les efforts que déploie le port de Gand dans ce domaine méritent-ils d'être mis en évidence, car c'est un des rares ports européens qui, effectivement, fait de la promotion pour le short sea.
