  • Anvers va devenir une plaque tournante pour le commerce de l’arabica
    Il y de fortes chances que le New York Board of Trade, qui gère un des deux plus importants marchés à terme pour le commerce du café, accrédite Anvers avant la fin de l’année comme port pour le transbordement et l’entreposage d’arabica. Anvers possède déjà ce statut pour le café robusta, dont le commerce est réglé par le marché à terme londonien. L’accréditation par le NYBOT mettrait un terme à ce que l’échevin du port Leo Delwaide, lors de la création officielle de la Belgian Coffee Federation, a appelé le “paradoxe robusta”.

  • Ocean World Lines réalisera en 2000 un trafic atlantique de 45.000 TEU
    Sur la scène internationale des NVOCC, le nom de Ocean World Lines avec son logo le “hibou” est bien connu, notamment en Europe où il a établi un QG à Hambourg et opère depuis de nombreuses années au départ d’Anvers. Créé à New York il y a une vingtaine d’années, cet opérateur, qui s’est concentré sur les FCL, a d’abord effectué ses premières opérations vers l’Afrique. Puis est intervenu le grand élan avec l’accès à la présidence en 1989 de A. Baer, qui signa les premiers contrats de service à l’exportation des USA intéressant les secteurs de l’Atllantique Nord et du Pacifique. OWL se diversifiait ainsi à l’échelle des continents. Depuis, les activités n’ont fait que croître. En 1993, l’opérateur avait transporté 1.500 TEU. L’année dernière il affichait un score de 60.000 TEU. Cette année, il s’agira de 75.000 à 80.000 TEU. Le CA du groupe atteint les 80 mio. d’USD.
