    D’ici la fin du mois, le gouvernement français devrait en principe annoncer les mesures visant à permettre que les grutiers conduisant les engins portuaires, notamment les portiques à containers, puissent être intégrés au sein des entreprises de manutention. Si tout se passe comme prévu - mais les pouvoirs publics français sont coutumiers du non-respect des calendriers annoncés -, les grutiers deviendront donc des employés du secteur privé, alors qu’ils dépendent encore actuellement du secteur public. Ce dernier volet de la réforme portuaire est considéré par les entreprises de manutention comme une nécessité pour mettre les ports français en position favorable face à leurs concurrents européens.

Entre-temps, les appels en faveur d’une intervention de l’administration Bush sonnent de plus en plus fort.

Dans l’immobilier logistique proprement dit, par contre, les investissements se poursuivent. Ainsi, le groupe vient d’inaugurer à Clésud, près de Marseille, une plate-forme logistique pour le compte de TNT Logistics France, tandis qu’il vient de conclure un contrat pour l’acquisition de nouveaux terrains sur le site de l’aéroport de Vatry. Et il y a quelques jours, Prologis annonçait un premier investissement près de Liège.
