Usinor réorganise sa logistique par métier et crée Ocean Logistics à Anvers et SOMEF à Liège Après la prise de contrôle de Cockerill-Sambre, il était logique que le groupe sidérurgique français Usinor procède à des adaptations sur le plan de la logistique et ce au niveau du nouvel ensemble. Après des mois de préparation, c’est maintenant chose faite. Usinor a décidé de réorganiser par métier les activités de transport qu’effectuaient jusqu’ici les sociétés belges S.O.M.E.F. s.a. (Société d’Opérations maritimes et fluviales, dépendante du groupe Cockerill-Sambre, et la firme S.A.T.E.M. s.a. (Société d’Affrètement de Transit et de Mise à Bord) qui dépendait d’Usinor. Une modification du cadre juridique des entreprises a eu lieu ce 29 juin, qui implique la scission de la société S.O.M.E.F. en deux entreprises distinctes, à savoir Ocean Logistics s.a. issue du rapprochement de ses activités anversoises avec celles de S.A.T.E.M., basée à Anvers et SOMEF s.a. basée à Liège.
La ratification de la nouvelle convention sur la saisie conservatoire des navires n’est “pas opportune” La Belgique n’a pas l’intention d’adhérer à la nouvelle “Convention 1999” sur la saisie conservatoire des navires. Dans une lettre, un responsable du ministère du Transport et de l’Infrastructure précise qu’une ratification par la Belgique “ne semble pas opportune”. La nouvelle convention perturberait “l’équilibre existant dans le traitement des intérêts des armateurs et des affréteurs d’une part et des intéressés par la cargaison d’autre part”, estime-on à Bruxelles. Le gouvernement belge soutient de la sorte les chargeurs et les secteurs portuaires, qui avaient demandé dans une motion déposée en début d’année de ne pas ratifier le texte.
L’expéditeur anversois Norfram Logistics a pris pied à Marseille Lors de la création, à Anvers à la fin 1995, de la société Norfram Logistics s.a., non seulement l’entreprise présentait une dimension importante de par l’appport des partenaires constituants - rappelons qu’il s’agissait du regroupement d’intérêts économiques sur la place d’Anvers - mais la stratégie mise au point consistait à jouer la carte de l’internationalisation. Cette création s’inscrivait en fait dans l’ère du temps, à savoir qu’il est devenu impératif d’évoluer vers de nouvelles dimensions, d’avoir une assise financière plus importante, dans un environnement de plus en plus concurrentiel.
