ICF table sur une reprise de la croissance en 2001 grâce à ses nouveaux produits “Nous avons pu constater que la stratégie de la croissance, axée sur la rentabilité, commence à porter des fruits dans le transport combiné rail-route. Les nouveaux produits que nous avons placés sur le marché ont été un succès.

Tel est le résumé de l’exercice 2000 de l’opérateur paneuropéen de transport combiné, dressé par son PDG René Hellinghausen, en gare de Metz, lors de la conférence de presse annuelle.

Le rapport met toutefois principalement l’accent sur le fait que les premiers signes du rétablissement se sont manifestés au cours de cette année.
Le Havre part à la conquête de l’Est français Le Havre fait le forcing dans l’Est de la France. Il s’agit, pour les Havrais, de récupérer une partie du potentiel de trafic containérisable de cette région. L’Alsace, à elle seule, représente sur base annuelle quelque 100.000 TEU. Lors d’un récent passage à Strasbourg, une forte délégation havraise a clairement affiché les intentions du port normand. Grâce à la navette “Le Havre Shuttle” (LHS), qui désormais gagne Strasbourg en direct sans passer par le point nodal de Villeneuve, les Havrais espèrent gagner des parts de marché. Et cela en prenant une partie de leurs trafics à la voie d’eau.
