Cette coopération est déjà bien réelle, du moins à en juger les développements qui se manifestent dans le port de Dunkerque où des intérêts belges sont particulièrement actifs.

Le CA des navettes a augmenté par contre de 19%, passant de 2.830 mio. à 3.362 mio. de FRF, essentiellement grâce à la hausse très sensible du trafic de navettes fret, le trafic de voitures ayant baissé. Les revenus provenant des redevances des chemins de fer sont demeurés stables (2.2 mia. contre 2.25 mia. de FRF, soit -1%).
