  • Anvers: la containérisation concerne 72% des diverses
    La containérisation progresse à Anvers à un rythme soutenu. A l’issue de l’exercice 2000, avec 44,52 millions de tonnes, elle intervenait déjà pour 72 % du volume global des marchandises diverses, contre 65,4% en 1999. Le conventionnel/breakbulk (18,24 mio. de t) a pourtant progressé l’année dernière de 20,5%, tandis que le ro/ro (5,96 mio. de t) enregistrait une augmentation de 4,4%. On peut s’attendre à ce que cette année encore, compte tenu de la croissance régulière propres aux services qui touchent le port, et des nouveaux loops annoncés, la containérisation grignotera encore quelques pour-cent du secteur des diverses.

Ce projet se précise et devrait être concrétisé dans le courant des prochains mois, mais pas encore en mars prochain, comme l’annoncent certains journaux.
