Stinnes échappe au ralentissement économique Le ralentissement de l’économie mondiale n’a pas affecté le groupe Stinnes au cours du premier semestre de l’année. Le logisticien allemand est parvenu à enregistrer de fortes hausses de son chiffre d’affaires et de ses bénéfices, ce qu’il doit en tout premier lieu à ses divisions “Transport” (Schenker) et “Chimie” (Brenntag), et à tirer bénéfice de récentes acquisitions. De plus, il s’attend à ce que le second semestre confirme ces bonnes performances et conduise à un bénéfice final pour l’exercice 2001 supérieur à celui de l’année dernière.
MISC renforce ses positions dans le transport de gaz L’armement Malaysia International Shipping Corporation (MISC) a plusieurs cordes à son arc. Outre le liner containérisé et certains trafics en conventionnel/breakbulk, il est particulièrement actif depuis plusieurs années dans le secteur des méthaniers. Alignant une flotte de treize grands méthaniers, la compagnie malaisienne est actuellement le plus grand transporteur maritime mondial de gaz naturel liquéfié. Et il vient de signer un contrat avec Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding (MES) pour six méthaniers d’une capacité unitaire de 137.000 m3 filant à 21 noeuds.
L’ESPO demande aux ports de jouer cartes sur table en matière environnementale “Toute activité économique a un impact environnemental. Ainsi, un immeuble de bureaux où travaillent mille personnes, génère approximativement 6.000 tonnes d’émissions de dioxide de carbone par an, ce qui équivaut à ce que produisent 1.300 voitures roulant à l’essence. Un employé de bureau produit en moyenne 400 kg de déchets par an. En d’autres mots, les problèmes environnementaux tels que le réchauffement de la planète ne résultent pas uniquement des transport et de l’activité industrielle. Les ports font face avec succès à bon nombre de problèmes environnementaux et leur capacité à traiter ces problèmes va croissant.” C’est ce qu’écrit l’Organisation des ports maritimes européens ESPO dans le “Rapport environnemental qu’elle vient de publier. L’ESPO formule plusieurs recommandations à l’intention de ses membres. L’organisation annonce par ailleurs avoir l’intention d’entamer une discussion avec FEPORT, la fédération des opérateurs de terminaux européens, en vue de parvenir à la définition de points de vue communs sur ce dossier très sensible.
