  • Grimaldi continue à développer son réseau logistique
    L'opérateur roro Grimaldi (Naples) attend toujours une proposition "valable" d'Anvers , Zeebrugge ou Flessingue pour décider où il implantera son terminal pour le Benelux. Cette décision pourrait tomber le mois prochain, a déclaré Emanuele Grimaldi en marge de son exposé à la conférence "RoRo 2000" à Göteborg. Mais rien est moins sûr. Le groupe italien reporte sa décision depuis plus de deux ans déjà. Anvers, où les services G&C (dans lesquels Grimaldi a racheté la participation de Cobelfret) font également escale, semble a priori disposer des meilleurs atouts, même s'il fait grand cas d'une "nouvelle offre de Flessingue". Seulement, la demande de l'armement pour recevoir une grande concession devant les écluses semble difficile à honorer.
  • Mauvaise qualité des prestations ferroviaires: le transport combiné rail/route a perdu des plumes en 1999
    1998 n'avait pas été une année brillante pour le transport combiné rail/route européen géré par les sociétés membres de l'UIRR Union internationale Rail/Route (ni pour le transport ferroviaire de marchandises d'ailleurs); 1999 a été encore plus mauvaise puisque le trafic international note une régression de 0,7%, et le trafic national de 7,4%. C'est bien entendu la mauvaise qualité des services fournis par les entreprises ferroviaires/tractionnaires qui est en cause. "Les entreprises ferroviaires sont même allées au-delà de l'inacceptable en ne se privant pas d'augmenter simultanément le prix de leurs prestations", souligne le directeur général de l'UIRR Rudy Colle dans le rapport annuel.
  • La Commission européenne veut diminuer le nombre d'éco-points pour le trafic de transit en Autriche
    La Commission européenne a proposé mercredi une diminution progressive des éco-points dans le trafic de transit de camions en Autriche. "Cette proposition ne va en rien à l'encontre des objectifs de lutte contre la pollution, mais tient compte du progrès technique qui a déjà permis de réduire les émissions de matières toxiques dans le transport routier", a déclaré Loyola de Palacio, commissaire européenne aux Transports. La proposition de la Commission sera abordée lors du prochain Conseil des ministres des Transports, les 26 et 27 juin.
  • P&O Stena Line transfère partiellement un ferry fret vers la ligne Calais-Douvres
    La compagnie ferry britannique P&O Stena Line va augmenter à partir du 1er juillet 2000 le nombre de départs sur la route Calais-Douvres afin de répondre à la hausse de la demande en transports de fret. Six départs supplémentaires seront proposés suite au transfert partiel et temporaire du "P&O SL European Seaway" depuis Zeebrugge vers la plus courte traversée de la Manche.
