  • CMB a revendu la CNN
    Un an et demi après avoir acquis la CNN (Compagnie Nouvelle de Navigation) et toutes les activités qui s'y rapportaient, le groupe CMB a cédé la majeure partie de cette entreprise à l'entité Transports Maritimes et Logistiques, qui est composée majoritairement du management, soutenu par la Banque Nationale de Paris (BNP) et NatWest. La transaction sera effective le 15 juin prochain. Elle porte sur la participation de 92,5% dans le capital, qui correspond à 90,2% des droits de vote. Dans le cadre de cette opération, CMB enregistre une moins-value de 15 millions d'EUR dans les comptes consolidés. Mais le groupe belge contrôle désormais à 100% l'armement pétrolier Euronav, ce qui a toujours été son objectif.
  • Katoen Natie implanterait un petit terminal polyvalent à Terneuzen
    Le groupe Katoen Natie/Seaport Terminals signerait dans les tout prochains jours un contrat avec l'autorité des ports zélandais et le groupe Dow Chemical Benelux pour l'aménagement d'un petit terminal à containers polyvalent qui serait implanté dans la lagune à marée du Braakmanhaven, où se trouvent actuellement deux jetées où accostent de petits navires de mer desservant l'entreprise chimique en question. Le patron du groupe KTN/SP, Fernand Huts, se refuse pour l'heure à tout commentaire à ce sujet, ayant l'habitude de réserver ce type d'information pour ses conférences de presse.
  • Dachser entre à 70% dans le capital de Graveleau
    Comme prévu (voir LL du 28/4), le groupe allemand Dachser vient de prendre une participation - de 70% - dans le capital du groupe français Transports Graveleau. Les deux entreprises conserveront chacune leur identité propre, mais elles travailleront désormais avec le souci de créer un effet de réseau à l'échelle de l'Europe.
  • L'application de la législation douanière européenne source de paperasserie sans précédent
    La nouvelle procédure douanière, en matière de dédouanement de tous types de marchandises pour les exportateurs basés en Belgique, entrera en application à partir du 1er mai. Cette procédure est en fait l'application de la réglementation européenne qui aurait dû figurer depuis quelques années déjà dans notre législation nationale. Dans un article précédent dans notre page expédition du 25 février dernier, nous avions présenté une large analyse des conséquences éventuelles de cette mesure. La conclusion était que son application immédiate en Belgique était quasiment impossible et que des mesures de transition étaient nécessaires. La douane belge a cependant opté pour une application permanente dans l'article 161 en question, avec deux possibilités de dérogation. Et ce sont précisément ces mesures de transition qui sont actuellement la cause de cette paperasserie sans précédent dans les bureaux de douane.
