  • Yangming évolue progressivement vers une dimension supérieure
    Escale remarquée lundi dernier au terminal à marée de l’Europe de la Hessenatie du “Ming Plum”, le premier d’une série de 7 PC de 5.550 TEU commandés par l’armement Yangming et qui faisait son maiden trip en Europe. C’est d’autre part le plus grand PC que la Hessenatie a réceptionné jusqu’ici à son terminal. En janvier prochain, la deuxième unité du même type, le “Ming Orchaid” sera également alignée dans le service AEE (Asia Europe Express”, que Yangming assure avec ses propres navires, mais qui s’inscrit également dans le cadre d’une coopération sous forme d’échange de slots avec Cosco et K Line.
  • Les illégaux risquent de causer des pertes de trafic à Zeebrugge et Ostende
    L’attitude intransigeante des douanes britanniques et l’incapacité des ports autres que Calais à contrôler efficacement les camions risquent d’avoir des conséquences pour les ports de la mer du Nord. Du fait des contrôles sévères à Calais, en effet, le problème des illégaux se déplace de plus en plus vers les ports de Zeebrugge, Ostende, Flessingue et Rotterdam. Entre-temps, un transporteur allemand a reçu ce qui est probablement l’amende la plus lourde à ce jour: 30.000 GBP, soit 2 mio. de BEF.

Les travaux, qui coûteront l’équivalent de 8 mia. de BEF, devraient être terminés fin mars 2001. La direction, totefois, n’exclut pas dès à présent que cette date ne pourra être respectée. Certaines sources parlent de “la mi-2001”, et d’autres même d’”une bonne année”.

Cet armement dépend en fait du groupe United Logistics & Shipping Operators Ltd. (Unilog). Ce dernier est composé d’intérêts européens impliqués dans le shipping et le négoce.
