  • P&O Ports-Anvers chargé d’assurer les développements en Europe et en Afrique
    Dans le dernier rapport annuel du groupe P&O, son président Lord Sterling a plus particulièrement mis l’accent sur la poursuite de l’expansion rapide de la division P&O Ports, qui exploite des terminaux portuaires axés sur les containers et le conventionnel/breakbulk, sans oublier des terminaux multimodaux dans les hinterlands. Cette stratégie, il la conçoit via des acquisitions appropriées et efficaces, via un management très performant mais aussi via des systèmes communs. Ladite stratégie a déja trouvé illustration par les initiatives développées ces deux dernières années par le groupe en Europe continentale du Nord, plus précisément à Anvers et Duisbourg. La base anversoise va maintenant servir à d’autres développements.
  • Les gouvernements européens vont-ils aider les compagnies aériennes à traverser la tempête?
    Les vols transatlantiques ont progressivement repris pendant le week-end dernier, au grand soulagement des compagnies aériennes et de leurs clients restés en rade pendant près d’une semaine. Plusieurs compagnies, surtout américaines, ont déjà annoncé des plans de réduction de la capacité, accompagnés de pertes d’emplois. Le gouvernement américain a d’ailleurs annoncé qu’il interviendrait pour les aider à passer ce cap difficile. En Europe, les actions de quasi toutes les compagnies ont perdu des plumes lors de la réouverture des marchés boursiers, lesquels attendaient avec une certaine inquiétude la relance des opérations à Wall Street.
  • L’UE va plaider pour une taxe sur le kérosène auprès de l’OACI
    Les ministres européens des Transports ont a nouveau tenu un plaidoyer en faveur d’une imposition mondiale sur le carburant aérien, lors de leur rencontre informelle de samedi à Louvain-la-Neuve. Ce plan d’introduction d’une taxe sur le kérosène a déjà été rejeté à plusieurs reprises ces dernières années, mais a à nouveau été remis à l’agenda européen samedi sous la pression des ministres verts belges Isabelle Durant (Transport) et Magda Aelvoet (Environnement), qui présidaient le conseil des ministres européens combiné. On a donc fait fi du fait que bon nombre de compagnies aériennes prévoient de lourdes pertes pour cette année et qu’elles devront consentir des investissements supplémentaires sur le plan de la sécurité suite aux attaques terroristes aux EU.
  • Europe-COA: WAL et P&ONL optent pour une nouvelle grandeur d’échelle
    Engagés dans un service containérisé conjoint, seulement sur le plan opérationnel, les armements West Afrika Linie (WAL) et P&ONL procèdent actuellement à son adaptation, qui consiste à remplacer les 5 unités de 800 à 1.100 TEU par 4 unités de 1.700 TEU. Chaque partenaire aligne deux unités dans ce contexte opérationnel. Ces navires sont affrétés pour des périodes allant de 6 mois à un an. Rappelons que le rapport des forces entre les deux partenaires est officiellement de 60% pour WAL/40% P&ONL
