Dans le secteur de la navigation fluviale containérisée en Europe de l’Ouest, quelques glissements notables ont déjà eu lieu parmi les opérateurs en Europe occidentale.

Mory Group s’attend à une forte hausse du chiffre d’affaires en 2001 Le groupe français de transports et de logistique Mory a vu son chiffre d’affaires progresser de 13% à 610 millions d’EUR (4,07 mia. de FRF) en 2000, mais sa rentabilité a souffert de la hausse du diesel et des 35 heures. La logistique a progressé de manière très prononcée, de sorte que l’activité traditionnelle, la messagerie, ne représente plus désormais que 50% du chiffre d’affaires. Cela est conforme à la politique du groupe, dont la palette de services s’est élargie ces dernières années. Pour cette raison, le groupe présidé par Alain Bréau a décidé d’adopter une nouvelle appellation commerciale, à savoir “Mory Group”.
