"Anvers a opté pour une politique d'armements au détriment des manutentionnaires" "Nous sommes intéressés au troisième terminal à containers que l'on veut construire dans la darse à marée sur la Rive gauche. Nous avons peut-être été trop prudents par le passé, mais il s'avère qu'il y a intérêt, de la part de notre clientèle, pour faire plus à Anvers. Ainsi, le service PAX est intéressé à une centralisation dans le cadre des relations Far East/Atlantique Nord. Nous essayons de garder le deuxième service que Grand Alliance a dirigé sur notre terminal, et il est question d'un 6e loop. Il y a encore d'autres perspectives sur lesquelles nous reviendrons le moment voulu. Le planning de développement élaboré par le port est donc juste. Il y aura en 2002 un fort coefficient d'occupation et partant, d'autres possibilités sont nécessaires pour 2003". C'est ce qu'a déclaré mercredi à l'Académie Royale de Marine de Belgique, dont il occupait la tribune, Philip van Gestel, président du conseil de la Noord Natie. Galliker, le Transporteur belge de l'Année 2000 Le groupe Galliker Belgique (Milmort, près de Liège) a été élu Transporteur belge de l'Année 2000 par les lecteurs de Truck & Business et par un jury de personnalités du transport routier belge. DD Trans (Zeebrugge), quant à lui, a obtenu le Transport Graphic Award 2000, qui récompense la flotte, dont le look a été conçu avec le plus de créativité et de soin. Port de Bruxelles: la voie est libre pour le développement du centre TIR Le Port de Bruxelles est désormais propriétaire d'un site d'une superficie de 9 ha qui jouxte le centre TIR et qui appartenait jusqu'à présent à la SNCB, a annoncé hier le ministre bruxellois des Travaux publics et du Transport Jos Chabert. Ce site doit accueillir de nouveaux magasins pour des activités logistiques et de distribution qui répondront aux normes les plus modernes en la matière. L'autorité portuaire part à la recherche des partenaires privés qui pourront donner forme concrète à ce projet. Le port a également racheté à la SNCB un terrain de 1,6 ha sur la rive droite de l'Avant-port. Il y sera procédé à un remembrement pour parvenir à des concessions offrant une plus grande profondeur d'arrière-quai, mais il restera suffisamment de terrains pour accueillir de nouveaux trafics. Des négociations ont déjà commencé à ce sujet avec plusieurs clients potentiels. Chabert a également annoncé que depuis le 1er janvier dernier, les entreprises implantées au port de Bruxelles ne paient plus que 1 centime par tonne-kilomètre pour le transport de marchandises par eau, ce qui doit donner une impulsion supplémentaire au transport par ce mode.
