Anvers: la mobilité risque de tourner à la catastrophe Si des alternatives en matière de communications avec l’hinterland ne sont pas rapidement élaborées et réalisées, Anvers et son port devront faire face dès 2003/2004 à une situation catastrophique, compte tenu des flux de containers supplémentaires que vont générer les nouveaux terminaux à containers de la rive gauche. “L’administration portuaire est focalisée sur l’approfondissement de l’Escaut et la réactivation du Rhin d’Acier, mais il y a autre chose, tout aussi important, à savoir l’écoulement des trafics terrestres”, a dit Jan Pellens, président de l’AGHA au cours d’une conférence de presse qui consistait en fait à tirer la sonnette d’alarme. Le port risque d’être confronté à des problèmes d’engorgements d’une ampleur considérable, car ni le rail, ni la route ne sont à même d’absorber les progressions de trafic qui s’annocent. La prolongation de la piste d’Antwerp Airport devrait en premier lieu être un dossier technique La discussion sur le rôle et l’avenir d’Antwerp Airport a régulièrement été évoquée lors du colloque sur le transport aérien en Belgique et aux Pays-Bas qui a eu lieu au Hof van Liere (UFSIA) au début de la semaine. Une des remarques était que la prolongation de la piste devrait faire simplement l’objet d’une discussion technique. Toutefois, les politiciens restent sur leurs positions à ce sujet. De plus, une éventuelle relocalisation n’est pas non plus évidente. Quel sera l’impact des PC plus de 8000 TEU sur les activités terrestres et les frets? Dans le courant des deux à trois prochaines années, les chantiers navals vont livrer plus d’une centaine de PC de type super-post-panamax. Les commandes des derniers mois portent sur des unités d’une capacité moyenne de l’ordre de 5.000 TEU. Force est de constater que dans ce paquet figure un nombre appréciable de PC de plus de 6.000 TEU. Si l’on en croit les études faites par Drewry, auxquelles nous fimes récemment allusion dans ces colonnes, le marché des containers aura augmenté de 6,6% cette année et une autre augmentation de 8% est prévue pour l’année suivante. En d’autres mots, la part du container dans le trafic maritime mondial des diverses passera de 52% à 55,4%, soit 630 mio. de t. Il n’y aurait pas de danger de voir une surcapacité s’instaurer. Espérons donc que la conjoncture mondiale reste au beau fixe. Les émissions des membres de la VIBNA réduites de moitié pour une hausse de 25% de la production L’association des Entreprises Industrielles d’Anvers-Nord (VIBNA) collecte systématiquement des données sur les émissions atmosphériques de ses 41 membres. Entre 1992 et 1999, les émissions ont diminué de 44,7% tous produits confondus, alors que la production a augmenté d’un quart durant cette période. Les données collectées ont été publiées dans un rapport pour la première fois cette année. Lors de sa présentation, Ronny Ansoms, le président de la VIBNA, a annoncé son départ. Karel Hermans, le directeur-général d’INEOS, lui succédera.
