Le port de Liège entend promouvoir la multimodalité L’an dernier, 19,6 millions de tonnes de marchandises ont été transbordées dans les installations portuaires gérées par le Port Autonome de Liège (PAL). Une hausse de 542.000 tonnes par rapport à 1999. La navigation intérieure et en moindre mesure le transport ferroviaire ont contribué à cette croissance de 3%. Le transport routier a vu régresser sa part de quasiment 2%.
L’IRU énonce ses désidératas pour le Livre Blanc de de Palacio Dans dix ou quinze ans, le transport routier dans sa totalité polluera très sensiblement moins qu’en 1990 - malgré une hausse importante des volumes - et ce pour tous les polluants. Sauf un: le CO2. La hausse sera de 24%. Ici réside le véritable défi. Et il faut que le monde politique se concentre sur la solution de ce problème là spécifiquement. Elle réside principalement dans une réduction de la consommation des véhicules et donc une meillure fluidité du trafic. C’est pour cela qu’il faut adapter les infrastructures actuelles et en créer de nouvelles.
SDV Belgium: 25.000 TEU de groupage expédiés d’Anvers de par le monde en 2000 SDV Belgium fait assurément partie des grandes entreprises de groupage, qui opèrent à Anvers.

Ce concept de réseau répandu sur les divers continents va de pair avec des prestations totalement intégrées, de bout en bout, ce qui implique même des services à la carte, qu’il s’agisse de groupage maritime ou aérien.
Liège Airport prépare un nouvel envol pour 2002-2003 D’ici deux à trois ans, Liège Airport devrait pouvoir prendre un envol supplémentaire grâce à l’allongement de la piste et la construction d’une nouvelle aérogare.
