  • Tower Automotive jouera un rôle important dans la logistique de Volvo Cars Gand

    Un an après le premier coup de pioche, Tower Automotive a procédé à l’inauguration officielle de sa nouvelle usine dans la zone portuaire de Gand mardi dernier. L’investissement du groupe américain s’inscrit dans le cadre des projets de développement de Volvo Cars Europe. Tower approvisionnera l’usine automobile de la filiale de Ford de composants de carrosserie sur base just-in-time. Le fournisseur produira non seulement les composants mais jouera également un rôle important dans la réception et la livraison de composants d’autres sous-traitants. Le pré-acheminement vers Tower se fera essentiellement par le rail. Le transport entre les usines de Tower et de Volvo Cars au Sifferdok s’effectuera par poids lourds, via un chemin portuaire qu’emprunteront des véhicules dépassant largement les normes habituelles.
  • Le “self handling” reste d’une brûlante actualité
    “Nous sommes très favorables aux actions de promotion du Short Sea Shipping, comme le programme Marco Polo qui peut aider au démarrage de services particuliers pour autant que ces actions ne provoquent pas une distorsion de la concurrence. Marco Polo devrait être centré sur des projets qui peuvent être poursuivis à moyen et long termes, si non il y aurait une attribution erronée des resources financières. Tant nos projets espagnols qu’irlandais inscrits dans le PACT ont fait preuve de durabilité et de succès. Nous croyons qu’il y a de la place pour d’autres développements du SSS par l’entremise des instruments déjà développés par la CE, comme les States Aid Guidelines et la future directive portuaire. Mais nous lançons également un appel au gouvernement italien pour qu’il suive ces guidelines européennes et introduise le système de taxe au tonnage afin de rendre la flotte italienne compétitive”. Emanuele Grimaldi lors de la 6e convention Euro-Med, qui s’est déroulée la semaine dernière en Italie a plus particulièrement insisté sur la nécessité pour toutes les parties concernées de considérer le SSS dans un autre contexte afin de rendre cette alternative économiquement viable.
