Though private companies were enlisted to develop such a system, it never took off. "It was too tech for the time," Mr Cushing said.

Hessenatie-Noord Natie: la détermination de fusionner subsiste Fusionneront, fusionneront pas? Au fur et à mesure que les jours passent, le projet de mariage des deux grandes entreprises de manutention portuaire anversoises que sont Hessenatie et Noord Natie prend l'allure d'une affaire de plus en plus complexe, dont le cheminement est parsemé d'embûches. Dès l'annonce de ce projet, on savait que les actionnaires minoritaires de Noord Natie n'étaient guère enthousiastes. Puis on a laissé entendre que la fusion ne suffirait pas, que cette dernière s'accompagnerait de la recherche d'un partenaire international de grand format et spécialisé dans le secteur. Assez curieusement, on a confié à un organise bancaire qui est loin d'être familiarisé avec les activités de manutention portuaire, ING Barings, le soin de procéder à des contacts avec des candidats étrangers potentiels en vue d'un tel partenariat, mais surtout en vue de procéder à une évaluation du nouvel ensemble. Aujourd'hui, ce sont de petits actionnaires de la Noord Natie (qui représenteraient 43% du capital) qui se sont regroupés et qui posent leurs conditions via le bureau conseil Déminor.
