  • Le camion reste la seule solution pour la plupart des entreprises
    Le transport routier est un maillon irremplaçable de la chaîne de transport, soit comme seul mode soit comme élément de la chaîne de transport. Le rail et le fluvial doivent continuer à investir dans leur image. Les entreprises faisant appel à ces modes pour leur transport en ont une meilleure image de la qualité que les non utilisateurs. Une meilleure communication quant à la qualité et la fiabilité du rail, du fluvial et du transport intermodal bénéficieraient de manière générale à la mobilité. Telle est la conclusion tirée par le VEV et le Centre pour la politique industrielle (CIB) de la KUL sur base de l’enquête Promodi menée auprès de chargeurs au sujet de leurs besoins de transport et de leur perception de la qualité des différents modes de transport.
  • CP Ships se maintient dans les chiffres noirs

Le revenu opérationnel a baissé de 56 à 48 millions d’USD, tandis que le revenu net a chuté de plus de la moitié, de 48 à 22 mio. d’USD. Néanmoins, comparé à d’autres grands armements, le groupe CP Ships s’en tire encore bien.
  • La CCNR esquisse l’avenir du fluvial à l’horizon 2015-2020
    En vue de la tâche qui attend la navigation fluviale dans le contexte d’une croissance du transport annoncée pour les dix à quinze prochaines années, une adaptation de la structure de la flotte est nécessaire, selon la Commission Centrale pour la Navigation du Rhin (CCNR). Elle a par conséquent chargé un groupe de travail international d’élaborer un concept directeur pour les bateaux du futur. Le rapport final de ce groupe de travail présente une analyse des facteurs agissant sur la navigation intérieure et formule un certain nombre de recommandations.
  • Les syndicats de la Police maritime menacent d’organiser une grève du zèle
    Cinq syndicats qui représentent le personnel de la Police maritime (SPN) menacent d’appeler leurs membres dans ce service à organiser des actions du 12 au 30 novembre. L’issue de la rencontre du comité de négociation devant se réunir le 6 novembre prochain sera probablement décisive pour l’organisation éventuelle des actions déjà annoncées. Mais selon un porte-parole des syndicats, il peu probable que le ministre des Affaires intérieures Antoine Duquesne répondra d’ici là d’une manière satisfaisante à leurs revendications.
