  • ABX Logistics Belgique a réalisé un bénéfice de 150 mio. de BEF en 2000
    ABX Logistics Belgique, la division transport routier et logistique de la SNCB, a réalisé l’an passé un bénéfice d’environ 150 mio. de BEF. Cette division, endémiquement déficitaire depuis de nombreuses années, avait déjà réussi à enregistrer un léger bénéfice l’année précédente: 27 mio. de BEF. C’est ce que nous a déclaré Philippe De Cannière, le directeur général de la branche belge d’ABX Logistics. Il nous a également affirmé qu’il continuait à croire en une collaboration avec La Poste afin de pouoir rivaliser dans le colis avec des opérateurs tels que Deutsche Post, The Post Office, TPG ou UPS.
  • DB et SNCF: pas de fusion des activités fret en vue
    Des rumeurs ont récemment fait état de la création “assez rapidement” d’un “Airbus du fret ferroviaire” qui réunirait la Deutsche Bahn (chemins de fer allemands) et la SNCF (chemins de fer français). Pour qui se place sous l’angle des données fiables à prendre en compte pour travailler d’une façon professionnelle, les rumeurs en question ne reposent absolument sur rien de concret.
  • Minolta et Clarks font progresser le CA de New Wave Logistics de 60%
    Les deux nouveaux projets présentés hier à la presse par New Wave Logistics Belgium portent sur un centre de distribution international pour des chaussures de Clarks au magasin d’Aartselaar et un projet full service pour des produits de Minolta dans l’ensemble de l’Europe. “Les deux projets vont permettre de pratiquement doubler l’emploi, à 300 personnes, et d’atteindre un CA de 32,5 mio. d’EUR en 2001, ce qui revient à une progression de 60%”, explique Guy Vanlimbergen, directeur de New Wave Logistics (Belgium).
  • Le nouveau loop de TNWA sur l’Asie fera-t-il une escale directe à Anvers?
    Ce que nous annoncions en septembre dernier, se confirme: le groupe The New World Alliance (TNWA) va lancer en juin/juillet prochain un quatrième loop entre l’Europe du Nord et l’Asie, qui sera exploité sous le nom “EU4”. D’après les informations dont nous disposons pour l’instant, ce service sera également axé sur la desserte de la Chine, où il toucherait plusieurs ports en direct. Ce nouveau service pourrait soit escaler en direct à Anvers, ce qui signifierait qu’un deuxième service s’installerait dans le port scaldien, soit se substituer au loop existant, qui est appelé “CEX” et qui est également axé sur la desserte de la Chine. Une décision doit encore être prise à ce sujet. Les navires du service “CEX” fréquentent Anvers en direct à une fréquence hebdomadaire.
