One of the officials said the atmosphere aboard the ship, called the Professor Kolesnikov, was relatively calm. He said many of the migrants aboard the ship, which was about a mile off the coast, were women and children. One of the coastguard officials who managed to board the ship was Gianluca Piscardi, the same sailor who helped rescue a crew-less ship carrying 462 illegal immigrants last month.

  • Comment assurer le succès du cabotage?
    La première journée de la sixième édition de la conférence short sea “Short sea Europe 2000” organisée cette année à Duisbourg a principalement traité des mesures politiques devant rendre ce mode de transport attractif. A ce niveau, l’exposé de Wolfgang Elsner, responsable Short Sea Shipping and Ports au DG TREN de la Commission européenne, a été particulièrement remarqué. Malgré le fait que la croissance dans le cabotage s’est élevée à 27% sur ces dix dernières années (t/km), on ne peut pas encore parler de succès. La raison principale semble être que le cabotage a toujours une mauvaise image. La seule solution est donc de faire de la promotion. La question est naturellement de savoir ce qu’il faut d’abord: la promotion (poule) ou le bon produit (oeuf)? Mais les nouvelles sont bonnes, grâce au fait notamment que la Commission européenne est en train d’instaurer toute une série de nouvelles initiatives devant éliminer les craintes envers le cabotage.
  • Amiramar entend combiner affrètement et acquisition de tonnage
    “Des trois ports que nous touchons directement avec notre service Anvers est le plus important. Il intervient pour 66% des volumes que nous transportons, contre 4% pour Montoir, soit 2.000 t par mois et 30% pour Rouen où l’on enregistre une progression du trafic ces derniers temps.” Loic Roulier, Chief Operational Officer de l’armement belge Amiramar, qui assure un service régulier en conventionnel/breakbulk à destination de certains ports de la COA, s’est montré résolument confiant en ce qui concerne l’avenir de cette jeune compagnie fondée en juillet 96. Au cours d’une réception donnée pour la clientèle belge à l’occation du 4e anniversaire de la ligne et organisée en collaboration avec l’agent “International Freight Agencies Antwerp”, il nous a laissé entendre que l’intention était d’acquérir un navire, alors que la politique actuelle est axée sur l’affrètement.
  • IFB continue à développer son réseau de main inland hubs
    “Duisbourg, qui est dans les sphères d’influence des ports d’Europe occidentale et du nord de l’Allemagne, au coeur d’une vaste région économique traversée par le Rhin et d’excellentes liaisons ferroviaires, est incontestablement le site idéal pour un main inland hub. Duisbourg sera indéniablement amené à jouer un rôle plus important dans les activités deepsea. Il faut tout mettre en oeuvre pour désenclaver cette location”. C’est ce qu’a déclaré Marc Dubois, general manager d’Inter Ferry Boats (IFB), au cours d’un exposé qu’il a tenu hier à la “6th Short Sea Conference” organisée au port intérieur de Duisbourg, en Allemagne. IFB envisage un quatrième main inland hub en Europe occidentale. Anvers, Duisbourg et Lyon remplissent déjà ce rôle dans le réseau de la compagnie.
  • Diesel: l’incertitude gagne les transporteurs routiers britanniques
    La situation est très confuse à une semaine des actions prévues People’s Fuel Lobby (PFL) afin de protester contre les taxes sur le diesel au Royaume-Uni. Ses dirigeants, qui avaient annoncé des actions dures, disent aujourd’hui que la presse a mal interprété leurs déclarations; une partie de la base pourrait ne pas les écouter; le soutien de l’opinion publique s’estompe; la Road Haulage Association accuse le PFL d’être anti-démocratique; et le gouvernement refusera sans doute toute diminution des taxes mais proposerait des mesures favorisant la restructuration du secteur du transport routier... tout en introduisant une vignette autoroutière (qui serait compensée pour les transporteurs britanniques).
