  • SLCL va desservir Montréal avec sa 3e génération chargée à 3.500 TEU
    On en parlait depuis des mois. Maintenant c’est officiel. Les partenaires du St Lawrence Coordinated Service (SLCL) que sont Canada Maritime et OOCL annoncent leur intention d’aligner dans leurs services réguliers entre l’Europpe du Nord et Montréal des unités d’une capacité supérieure à celle des 3 unités de 2.800 TEU actuelles, à savoir 4.100 TEU de capacité nominale, pour une ulilisation à 3.500 TEU. Commandes ont été passées au chantier sud-coréen Daewoo Shipbuilding de 3 PC de ce nouveau type renforcés pour la navigation dans les glaces, livrables en 2003.
  • “Le cluster maritime n’est pas viable en Belgique sans un retour de la flotte marchande ”
    “Un pays tel que la Belgique ne peut pas uniquement vivre de la prestation de services. Il doit saisir les moindres opportunités pour mener une politique d’investissement visant à faire fleurir ses industries tout en respectant les règles européennes, de sorte que ces industries deviennent à leur tour un pôle de croissance pour d’autres branches d’activités”. C’est en faisant allusion à notre propre secteur maritime que Nicolas Saverys a plaidé hier soir durant l’assemblée générale de l’Union des armateurs belges pour une politique qui ouvrirait la porte au “retour sous pavillon belge” de la marine marchande contrôlée par des intérêts nationaux. Car il y a bien plus en jeu que seulement la flotte. “Le dépavillonnement assisté par les autorités et les mesures sociales de ces dernières années ont offert la possibilité aux armateurs de survivre et de revoir leurs stratégies, et ce avec succès. Mais les difficultés que nous éprouvons pour le moment pour trouver des équipages et du personnel à quai, et le dommage que subit déjà le cluster maritime en Belgique prouvent clairement qu’un dépavillonnement ne peut être bénéfique que s’il est temporaire et de courte durée. La perte de savoir-faire et de main-d’oeuvre est inquiétante”, a dit Saverys. Dans l’assistance, on a noté la présence du ministre des Finances, Didier Reynders.
  • Ford opte pour une bande transporteuse vers la ligne de production du Transit
    Les moteurs destinés Ford Transit sont actuellement assemblés dans l’usine même. Il s’agit d’un ensemble de composants tels que le bloc moteur, la boîte de vitesse, l’alternateur, le démarreur, des câbles et des tuyaux, qui étaient montés dans le Transit. Ford a décidé, conformément aux attentes, d’utiliser une bande transporteuse et de sous-traiter cette activité à SML. Cela permettra à Ford de gagner de la place dans l’usine pour se concentrer sur l’assemblage de modèles Transit plus compliqués.
  • ECS met les trafics intra-européens à l’échelle des 45’
    Nous mettons l’accent sur le short sea et examinons ce que ce concept peut offrir, de même nous intégrons le transport ferroviaire dans notre système”. Eric Staal, directeur commercial de la jeune entreprise de transport et de logistique European Containers (ECS) que nous avons rencontré à son stand à la Foire-exposition de Munich, nous a donné l’image d’une entreprise en pleine expansion, qui progressivement étend sa toile sur la scène des trafics intra-européens qu’il met à l’échelle des containers de 45’.
