Anvers: la Werf & Vlasnatie développe ses concepts en matière de logistique semi-industrielle La fonction industrielle qui s’est développée au cours des dernières décennies au port d’Anvers a non seulement généré d’importants trafics, tant à l’entrée qu’à la sortie, mais a également donné lieu à des nouvelles activités, qui s’inscrivent aujourd’hui dans ce que l’on appelle la logistique semi-industrielle, activités que les industries ont de plus en plus tendance à sous-traiter, soit sur leur propre périmètre, soit à l’extérieur, à moins que ces deux possibilités soient concrétisées dans un même contexte opérationnel. Ce nouveau secteur d’activité a pris des proportions considérables dans le port scaldien et les investissements qui en découlent se manifestent d’une manière quasi continue. Un dernier exemple en date nous vient de la Werf & Vlasnatie (WVN), qui en l’espace de 6 ans a déjà investi un milliard de BEF dans des installations très spécialisées, auquel s’ajouteront l’année prochaine 250 mio. consacrés à de nouvelles installations.
“La desserte de la Russie passe par la Finlande” “Nous sommes la porte d’accès la plus fiable à la Russie et aux anciennes républiques de l’Union Soviétique”. C’est en ces termes, et en présence de l’ambassadeur finalandais Leif Blomqvist, que s’est présentée la délégation des ports de Kotka et Hamina mardi dernier dans la maison portuaire d’Anvers. Les us et coutumes du monde économique russe n’ont plus de secrets pour les hommes d’affaires finlandais qui sont des partenaires commerciaux privilégiés de la Russie, a déclaré l’ambassadeur.
Mærsk Sealand s’intéresse au super-port de Wilhelmshaven Il semblerait que l’armement Mærsk Sealand soit désireux de participer à la réalisation du super-port à containers qui serait construit à Wilhelmshaven, participation qui se traduirait évidemment par son implantation avec un grand terminal. Une première phase porterait sur deux emplacements, les quatre autres devant être mis à la disposition d’autres armements. Cette perspective suscite une sérieuse inquiétude parmi le personnel du North Sea Terminal à Bremerhaven, qui est exploité conjointement par Eurogate et Mærsk, qui intervient pour 50%. Cette crainte fait probablement suite à la stratégie que l’armement danois a adoptée à Singapour qu’il touche désormais avec des feeders, ses grands PC escalant à son propre terminal à Tanjung Pelepas.
