    Emanuele Grimaldi, managing director du groupe maritime de Naples qui porte son nom, s’apprête à concrétiser davantage sa vision d’une logistique intra-européenne intégrée basée sur le shortsea/cabotage. Son service Euro-Med est en passe d’évoluer vers une nouvelle dimension, ce qui implique le développement des dessertes en Méditerranée, alors qu’il est à la veille de s’engager dans une étroite collaboration avec un armement spécialisé dans les trafics rouliers Baltique-Europe du Nord. Un tel accord lui permettra d’étendre ses services de logistique intermodale aux pays riverains de cette mer Baltique et de s’ancrer à St-Pétersbourg, gateway de la Russie. Son hub anversois est appelé à jouer un rôle prépondérant dans le cadre de cette expansion géographique.
  • Deutsche Post centralise tout l’express et la logistique chez DHL à Bruxelles
    Deutsche Post va réunir dès 2003 toutes ses activités de logistique et de colis express au sein de sa filiale DHL International, qui deviendra ainsi la seule marque dans ces secteurs d’activités. La nouvelle division, qui réalisera un chiffre d’affaires annuel de 21 mia. d’EUR, sera basée à Diegem, près de Bruxelles, dans les bâtiments de l’actuel siège central mondial de DHL. Ceci signifie que les sièges des divisions EuroExpress (colis/messagerie) et Danzas (transport et logistique) quitteront respectivement Bonn et Bâle pour Bruxelles. Seules les activités d’expédition Air & Sea de Danzas demeureront en Suisse. Toutes ces décisions ont été prises dans le cadre du programme de restructuration de la Deutsche Post, baptisé Star, destiné à fortement accroître la rentabilité de Deutsche Post en intensifiant les synergies et en supprimant les doublons.

Alors que les travaux des phases un et deux progressent vite pour l’heure, le ministre flamand de la Mobilité, des Travaux publics et de l’Energie, Steve Stevaert, a donné son feu vert à l’adjudication de la troisième et dernière phase du Deurganckdok. Normalement, cette procédure devrait être clôturée fin novembre.
  • L’Italie va rattraper l’arriéré de remboursement de la TVA
    Le dossier du remboursement de la TVA en Italie semble enfin avancer. Ce pays a en effet soumis un plan à la Commission européenne afin de rattraper pour fin 2003 son arriéré de remboursement de la TVA aux transporteurs étrangers. Selon l’organisation Transport en Logistiek Nederland, il s’agit d’une étape dans la bonne direction, mais l’organisation des transporteurs néerlandais soutient tout de même l’action de la Commission visant à porter l’affaire devant la Cour européenne de Justice. La Commission entend garantir de la sorte que l’Italie respectera dorénavant comme il se doit les règles européennes relatives au remboursement de la TVA.
