Liner: vers la création d’une super-alliance Est-Ouest Une nouvelle alliance de mega-carriers, qui pourrait devenir la plus grande sur le marché du liner, va voir le jour dès que la FMC et l’UE auront donné leur feu vert. Elle regroupera Hanjin et sa filiale Senator Lines, Cosco, K Line et Yang Ming. Elle représentera une flotte de quelque 300 PC, dont la majeure partie répartie dans 27 services hebdomadaires Est-Ouest. Pour l’instant, cette alliance est connue sous la dénomination CKYH, ce qui est purement temporaire, les partenaires étant à la recherche d’un nom. Les négociations en ce sens ont démarré au début de l’année 2000, mais il est évident que les derniers événements du début septembre et leurs conséquences à terme ont pour effet d’accélérer ce processus de rationalisation, car c’est bien de cela qu’il s’agit. Lors de leur dernière réunion le 20 septembre à Shanghai, les intéressés ont décidé d’aller de l’avant. On serait tenté de dire qu’il s’agit d’une rationalisation entre alliances...

Le groupe ADPO mise sur un doublement de ses volumes Le groupe ADPO table sur un doublement de ses volumes sur son site dans la zone portuaire de la rive gauche anversoise l’année prochaine. Un demi million de tonnes de produits chimiques liquides y sont actuellement traités sur base annuelle. Les 500.000 tonnes additionnelles sont orginaires de l’entreprise allemande Celanese Chemicals, qui a décidé d’implanter son centre de distribution européen pour les produits chimiques fabriqués outre-mer à Anvers. Ce flux transitait par Rotterdam par le passé.
Nouvelles limitations du tirant d’eau en vue sur le Ringvaart à Gand? Les travaux de dragage sur le canal maritime Gand-Terneuzen et sur la Lys seront arrêtés à partir de l’an prochain par manque de capacité des décharges pour les boues draguées, et ce pour une période d’au moins deux ans. Il y a de grandes chances qu’un jugement supprime la capacité de décharge prévue pour l’Escaut supérieur et le Ringvaart. La navigation sur le canal maritime et la Lys ne souffrira pas immédiatement de ce report. Mais on risque par contre de devoir introduire de nouvelles limitations du tirant d’eau sur le Ringvaart durant l’hiver. On attend une solution structurelle au problème.
