Anvers et sa darse à marée: le secteur fluvial menacé d’incapacité opérationnelle Après l’AGHA, qui attirait récemment l’attention des milieux politiques responsables sur le manque d’infrastructures ferroviaires et routières et sur le risque de chaos en matière de mobilité que cela peut entraîner, et après IFB, filiale de la SNCB, qui prédit un blocage total du réseau ferroviaire en 2007, c’est au tour de la batellerie de tirer la sonnette d’alarme. La mise en service des terminaux à containers va progressivement créer une situation tout aussi catastrophique pour la navigation intérieure, affirme le secteur. A-t-on négligé certains aspects cruciaux lors de l’élaboration du projet de darse à marée en cours de creusement sur la rive gauche de l’Escaut au sud de Doel? Oui et non.

La route et le rail signent une “charte de qualité” pour le transport combiné La Fédération Belge des Transporteurs (Febetra), la division “fret” de la SNCB (B-Cargo) et la société de transport combiné TRW, ont signé en juin dernier une “Charte de Qualité” visant à améliorer la productivité du transport combiné en Belgique. C’est ce qui a été annoncé mercredi à Bruxelles en présence du gratin du TC en Belgique. Que la nouvelle n’ait pas été annoncée plus tôt tient d’abord aux vacances, puis aux événements à la rentrée et aux négociations qui ont suivi. Dans les milieux concernés, cette signature est considérée comme un pas en avant “énorme”, car il s’avère que les différentes parties ne se parlaient pas jusqu’il y a environ deux ans.
