  • Hausse du bénéfice et du CA du groupe Stinnes
    Le groupe allemand Stinnes a réalisé un CA de 12 mia. d’EUR l’année dernière, une hausse de 2,3% par rapport à 1999. Le bénéfice net a augmenté de 11,9% à 201,8 mio. d’EUR. C’est avec une fierté non dissimulée que Wulf Bernotat, le CEO du groupe, a déclaré que le groupe est “plus fort que jamais” lors de la conférence de presse à Mülheim. “Notre bénéfice a augmenté de manière substantielle, nous avons renforcé notre éventail d’activités et jeté les bases de la croissance future.” Le groupe a principalement investi dans la division chimique l’année dernière et se concentrera sur les activités logistiques et de transport de Schenker cette année. Dans ce contexte, Bernotat a déclaré que le groupe a mis plus d’un demi milliard d’EUR de côté pour les acquisitions et les partenariats de cette division.
  • Vers une reconnaissance de la profession d’agent maritime?
    “J’ai l’impression que la profession d’agent maritime est quelque peu méconnue”, a constaté le président Robert Vermeersch lors de la présentation du rapport annuel de la Fédération Maritime d’Anvers (FMA), qui fête son centenaire. Le représentant des armements dans un port maritime doit accomplir tout un éventail de tâches, qui toutes demandent un haut degré de spécialisation. Depuis près de 20 ans - depuis 1982 - la FMA tente d’obtenir une certaine forme de reconnaissance pour la profession, jusqu’ici sans succès.
  • Marchandage politiquedans le dossier de la darse à marée?
    La réunion d’urgence - organisée à la demande de l’échevin Leo Delwaide - du Conseil de concertation du port d’Anvers n’a guère apporté d’éléments nouveaux. Le Conseil a pris connaissance d’un rapport d’un groupe de travail placé sous la présidence du ministre flamand de l’Economie et de l’Aménagement du Territoire Dirk Van Mechelen. Il y a eu accord sur l’approche proposée, qui implique une relance des procédures en vue d’obtenir de nouveaux permis, ce qui implique notamment une nouvelle étude d’incidence sur l’environnement (MER), qui prendra quatre mois. L’administration portuaire a aussitôt donné instruction de commander cette étude, qui devrait être prête pour la fin juillet. Si elle est déclarée conforme, interviendra alors une demande pour de nouveaux permis, sur base de tous les éléments requis. A ce moment démarrera une période de trente jours pour enquêtes publiques. Si tout va bien, les travaux pourraient redémarrer en octobre. Au cours de cette réunion, tant le patronat que les syndicats ont mis en évidence l’importance capitale de cette darse à marée.
  • Anvers reste le principal atout du réseau d’Azimut
    L’entreprise de groupage anversoise Azimut Services fête aujourd’hui son cinquième anniversaire. Nous avons parlé avec l’administrateur délégué Patrick Wouters au sujet de la poursuite conséquente de la philosophie de base de l’entreprise qui repose essentiellement sur un service personnalisé, une tarification équitable, la neutralité et Anvers comme point de départ et de destination.
