  • H. Essers a construit à Wilrijk un EDC pour Agfa Gevaert
    Le groupe limbourgeois de transport routier et de logistique H. Essers a inauguré mercredi dernier à Wilrijk, dans le sud d’Anvers, une nouvelle plate-forme logistique de 11.000 m2. Ce centre assurera dans un premier temps deux fonctions: il sera l’EDC d’Agfa-Gevaert pour les plaques d’impression offset et un centre de “cross-docking” pour les flux de marchandises à l’entrée d’Atlas Copco, qui a sa plus grande usine d’Europe à quelques centaines de mètres à peine. A très brève échéance, le centre pourrait être étendu à 33.000 m2 A plus long terme, il existe la possibilité de le porter à.. 140.000 m2!
  • La double coque sera-t-elle obligatoire pour les futurs vraquiers?
    Il est beaucoup question ces derniers temps d’améliorer la sécurité des vraquiers secs, suite aux nombreux accidents survenus ces dernières années, qui se traduisirent par la perte de navires avec leur équipage. Ce type de catastrophe maritime ne provoquant pas de marée noire sur les côtes, il en est beaucoup moins question dans les médias puisqu’il n’y a pas d’aspects spectaculaire, pas de sensation. En général, ces navires se brisent au cours d’un transport et disparaissent sans laisser de trace. Toujours est-il qu’une tendance se manifeste en faveur de l’introduction d’une double coque pour ce type de navire.
  • Après une baisse des trafics de 13,2% en 2001, ICF espère une reprise en 2002
    Malgré une amélioration des prestations fournies par Intercontainer-Interfrigo, l’opérateur note une baisse de trafics de 13% en 2001, à laquelle s’ajoute un résultat global négatif de 543.000 EUR, qui résulterait de l’annonce tardive des mauvais résultats d’IFB. Pourtant, ICF est persuadé que la tendance peut s’inverser en 2002, et l’opérateur prouve sa confiance dans l’avenir par la création imminente d’un tout nouveau réseau basé dans la Ruhr, X.net. C’est ce qui a été déclaré lors d’une conférence de presse à Bâle.
  • Les pilotes flamands seraient préparés à une libéralisation
    Il semble peu probable que le service de pilotage (DAB-Loodswezen) organisera une action qui interdirait l’accès aux ports flamands pour protester contre le projet de directive en matière de libéralisation des services portuaires. L’action des ouvriers portuaires ne trouvera donc pas de prolongement la semaine prochaine, les pilotes tablant sur une autre approche du problème. A l’heure actuelle, trois des quatre syndicats de pilotes sont indécis quant à l’organisation d’actions ou partisan d’une action symbolique, qui n’entraverait guère la navigation. Entre-temps, le service du pilotage se prépare à un système de concession pour le pilotage des navires vers les ports flamands.
