  • La CE prolongerait l’intervention PACT pour le short sea au-delà de 2001
    La CE semble mettre un point d’honneur à faire prévaloir le short sea sur la scène du transport européen. Le 5e programme cadre prévoit un groupe de travail thématique pour le short sea, qui devra traiter plusieurs sujets, parmi lesquels la nécessité de développer un cadre pour établir des comparaisons statistiques se rapportant aux divers modes et établir des indicateurs de performance intermodale sur le plan de l’environnement, et enfin il y a l’examen des prix door-to-door impliquant le short sea pour comparaison avec d’autres modes. “Il est impératif d’établir si le prix est un obstacle au short sea où s’il s’agit d’un problème d’image, de même qu’il est essentiel de procéder à une décomposition du prix global en fonction des éléments qui le constituent de manière à apprécier leur impact sur le prix total de la chaîne intermodale dans le concept porte-à-porte”, Cristobal Millan De La Lastra, attaché au directorat général TREN de la CE, qui occupait la tribune de la 4e convention Euro-Med tenue récemment à Valence, a laissé entrevoir des perspectives positives pour ce qui est du développement du short sea.
  • Les exclus de la FNTR créent une nouvelle organisation, l’OTRE
    Mardi a été annoncé à Paris - à la veille du Congrès de la FNTR, tout un symbôle - la création d’une nouvelle organisation professionnelle de transporteurs rotiers en France: l’Organisation des Transporteurs Routiers Européens (OTRE). Elle rassemble des fédérations départementales ayant été “délabellisées” par la FNTR en raison de leur attitude radicale lors de la crise du diesel. La création de cette nouvelle organisation risque de provoquer des chamboulements dans le paysage des associations françaises de transporteurs. L’AFTRI pourrait en sortir gagnante, car un rapprochement semble s’amorcer avec la nouvelle organisation.
  • Noord Natie a inauguré le terminal mixte de Ventspils

Le manutentionnaire anversois a non seulement contribué pour 40% à cet investissement de 70 mio. de dollars, mais y a apporté son know how et de plus en assure la gestion. Les 60% restants représentent la participationn de partenaires portuaires locaux. En outre, ce terminal présente la particularité d’être intégré dans des trafics qui intéressent également le port scaldien.
  • Les ports autrichiens du Danube veulent resserrer les liens avec Anvers
    A peine 15 pour cent du petit million de tonnes de marchandises transportées chaque année entre Anvers et l’Autriche sont acheminés par la voie fluviale. “Dans les deux cas, ces chiffres peuvent être améliorés”, estiment les responsables des quatre ports publics autrichiens sur le Danube.
