“Sans péage, pas de Masterplan anversois pour la mobilité” Steve Stevaert n’a pas été présent au forum sur la mobilité anversoise organisé par la Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie d’Anvers mardi soir, à la déception de la majorité de l’assistance qui s’était préparée à un débat animé. Son chef de cabinet, Dirk Van Melkebeke, qui l’a remplacé au dernier moment, n’y a pas été par quatre chemins et a affirmé que le Masterplan anversois pour la mobilité resterait lettre morte sans le péage, nécessaire pour financer l’ensemble du plan. Le Havre face à une offre pour un terminal CMA CGM On sait que l’armement français CMA CGM étudie actuellement diverses possibilités concernant l’implantation d’un hub dans un port de la zone Europe du nord ouest. Lors d’une conférence de presse tenue à Paris, Armand Toubol, Pdg de SNCF Participations, vient d’apporter un nouvel élément important concernant ce dossier. UECC veut faire de Bilbao un hub pour le trafic automobile L’armement carcarrier UECC entend faire de son nouveau terminal à Bilbao à terme la plaque tournante pour ses trafics automobiles de et vers l’Espagne et par la même occasion renforcer sa position sur le marché du transport de voitures. L’opérateur pourra disposer d’ici quelques années d’un grand terminal dans le port basque qu’il compte développer comme un hub pour cette activité sur le modèle de Zeebrugge, nous a dit le general manager de United European Car Carriers (Iberica), Alejandro Villa Fernandez, en marge de la présentation du port de Zeebrugge à Bilbao.
