  • Zeebrugge: +6,6% à la fin septembre
    A l'issue des 9 premiers mois le trafic maritime du port de Zeebrugge était toujours en hausse, de 6,6% avec un volume de 26,66 mio. de t. Tous les secteurs de trafic présentent des résultats positifs, les uns d'une manière plus prononcée que les autres. Les records se situent dans les secteurs du conventionnel/breakbulk (+35%) et dans celui des voitures neuves (+20%). Si les tendances se maintiennent jusqu'à la fin de l'année, le score final dépassera quelque peu les 35 mio. de t, ce qui constituera un record absolu.
  • Les armateurs français recherchent la compétitivité
    Avec 218 navires sous pavillon national et 150 contrôlés mais armés sous des pavillons tiers, la flotte de commerce française stagne au 28ème rang mondial.

D'autre part, celle du pavillon français n'a pas bénéficié des mêmes avancées et elle va encore être pénalisée par l'entrée en vigueur des 35 heures.

Cela pourra se faire dès que la législation taïwanaise le permettra étant donné que ces deux compagnies sont cotées séparément en bourse.
