  • Mærsk Sealand revient à Anvers avec un “loop” sur le Far East
    Le port d’Anvers termine l’année 2000 sur une bonne note. En effet après pratiquement 6 ans d’absence le grand armement danois, qui porte désormais l’étiquette de Mærsk Sealand, revient à Anvers en direct avec un service intégralement containérisé assuré entre l’Europe et le Far East. Il s’agit du sercice hebdomadaire AE 2 pour lequel sont alignés 8 PC de 4.500 à 5.000 TEU. Une première escale est attendue vers la fin décembre prochain au terminal à marée de la Noord Natie sur l’Escaut. Le rythme régulier des touchées ne devrait démarrer que vers la fin janvier. Ce retour se ferait donc en deux phases.
  • KLM affiche d’excellents résultats semestriels
    La compagnie aérienne néerlandaise KLM a réalisé au cours du premier semestre de 2000, qui s’est terminé le 30 septembre dernier, un résultat d’exploitation de 301 mio. d’EUR et un bénéfice net de 161 mio. d’EUR. Les prix de carburant ont fort contribué à la hausse des coûts et obligent KLM à augmenter les tarifs.
  • La première tranche d’actions Deutsche Post pourrait rapporter 7,4 mia. d’EUR
    La poste allemande a rendu public samedi dernier les modalités definitives de l’introduction en bourse d’une partie de ses actions. Il a été annoncé que l’IPO portera sur 278 mio. d’actions, soit 25% du capital. Si jamais la demande devait être trop importante, un paquet de 42,8 mio. d’actions supplémentaires serait également mis sur le marché, ce qui porterait ce pourcentage à 29%. La fourchette de prix est basse, estiment les analystes. Cela s’explique par les conditions actuelles sur le marché... et par le fait qu’il y a toujours la menace de sanctions de la part de la Commission européenne. Par ailleurs, Klaus Zumwinkel, le président de DP, a déclaré dans une interview qu’il espère que l’entreprise postale sera privatisée à 100% d’ici cinq ans.
