  • AP Møller autorisé à reprendre Wijsmuller
    Dans le cadre d’un de nos récents éditoriaux, nous avions fait allusion à la tendance aux concentrations qui se manifeste dans le secteur du remorquage, notamment à l’initiative de grands opérateurs logistiques, comme par exemple des exploitants de chaînes de terminaux à containers (PSA) ou de mega-carriers comme Mærsk Sealand. Ladite tendance s’accentue. En effet, la commission néerlandaise chargée de la concurrence vient de donner le feu vert au groupe AP Møller, dont dépend Mærsk Sealand, pour la reprise via sa filiale Em Z Svitzer de l’entreprise de remorquage néerlandaise Wijsmuller. Aucune objection donc.
  • TDG acquiert IWT et devient le N°3 en Irlande
    Le groupe britannique de transport routier et de logistique TDG a acquis la société IWT Worldwide en Irlande. Il devient ainsi un des trois premiers du secteur en Irlande. Cette acquisition cadre dans la stratégie de croissance hors-UK du groupe. Sur le Continent, les acquisitions de La Flèche du Nord en France et de Transportcentrale Gelderland (TCG) en début d’année ont donné les résultats escomptés. Les deux sociétés ont contribué aux très bons résultats enregistrés au premier semestre. Pour l’ensemble de l’année, les perspectives du groupe sont qualifiées de bonnes, malgré le défi que représente le ralentissement de l’économie européenne.
  • Jacobs met en œuvre une stratégie de consolidation
    Le groupe britannique Jacobs Holdings, qui a entre autres des intérêts dans le transport automobile et la navigation maritime (Dart Line et Thames Europort), a vu régresser son chiffre d’affaires de 1%, soit de 66,2 à 65,7 millions de GBP (à périmètre égal) au premier semestre. Mais le groupe a pu présenter pour la période en question un faible bénéfice avant impôts de 0,25 mio. de GBP, contre une perte de 3,09 mio. de GBP l’an dernier. “Le premier semestre a été une période de consolidation pour le groupe, suite au retrait du secteur logistique l’an dernier. Nous croyons dans une nouvelle croissance maintenant que nous pouvons nous concentrer sur les activités de base du groupe”, a déclaré le président Wilfrid Newton.
