  • Zeebrugge-Anvers: URS développe un nouveau concept de navette fluviale
    Le port de Zeebrugge est-il à la veille de connaître un important désenclavement fluvial? Il y a de bonnes raisons de croire qu’on s’oriente effectivement dans cette voie et si le projet en question est réellement mené à son terme, le port côtier belge sera mieux à même de faire valoir ses atouts en tant qu’outil complémentaire aux terminaux à containers anversois.
  • Les nouveaux propriétaires de Trasmediterranea ambitionnent une expansion internationale
    Le holding public espagnol SEPI veut vendre sa participation de 95,24% dans l’armement Trasmediterranea à un consortium emmené par le groupe espagnol de construction et de services Acciona. Les autorités de concurrence doivent encore donner leur feu vert, mais les nouveaux propriétaires ont déjà annoncé que leur stratégie pour l’entreprise ferry espagnole, désormais privatisée, sera axée sur un développement des services internationaux. Cette expansion devrait permette de transformer la compagnie en un acteur de premier plan sur le marché européen des liaisons par ferry. Le consortium est prêt à débourser 259 mio. d’EUR pour Trasmediterranea, mais les actionnaires disposent de suffisamment de réserves pour continuer à investir. En effet, Acciona investira cette année à elle seule 650 mio. d’EUR, dont au moins la moitié ira à l’achat d’entreprises de transport et de logistique. Ainsi,il a acheté le réputé transporteur espagnol Olloquiegui il y a quelques jours.
  • Le pôle italien d’ABX a accru son CA de 5,7% au premier semestre 2002
    Au premier semestre 2002, et ainsi que publié dans une récente édition, le chiffre d’affaires d’ABX Logistics a augmenté de 1,4% à 1,47 mia. d’EUR. L’Italie est assurément un des fleurons du groupe: au premier semestre, la croissance du CA est de 5,7%. Signalons également que le service courrier d’ABX Logistics Deutschland s’est récemment allié au service ferroviaire express Eurodoc, de sorte que 140 grandes gares allemandes, entre lesquelles fonctionne le système “Same Day Service”, sont ainsi connectées au réseau européen Eurodoc via Cologne.
  • Le port de Matadi redresse la barre
    Les dernières données - encore provisoires - recueillies de source portuaire à Matadi indiquent que le port maritime congolais a enregistré au premier semestre 2002 des résultats en hausse par rapport à l’année dernière. En terminant l’année 2001 sur un transbordement global de 1,039 million de tonnes, Matadi n’avait guère fait mieux qu’en 2000. Mais ces faibles performances n’avaient rien d’étonnant compte tenu de la guerre qui touchent des régions parmi les plus productrices du pays depuis plus de quatre ans. En revanche, pour les six premiers mois de 2002, Matadi affiche un trafic global d’environ 579.000 tonnes à l’import, contre seulement environ 61.000 tonnes à l’export. Cette faiblesse des trafics à la sortie est devenue structurelle pour le plus grand port congolais.
