Année de consolidation pour le trafic sur le canal Albert La conjoncture économique moins favorable s’est traduite l’an dernier, sur le réseau des voies navigables géré par le Dienst voor de Scheepvaart (DvS), par une stabilisation du trafic, après des années de croissance souvent considérable. Le tonnage transporté a atteint 35,91 millions de tonnes, ce qui représente une petite perte de 127.000 tonnes ou 0,4% par rapport à l’exercice 2000 (36,04 mio. de t). Exprimée en prestations de transport, l’activité navale sur le canal Albert et les voies navigables campinoises a légèrement progressé, avec une hausse de 53,4 millions tonnes-kilomètre ou 2% à 2,76 milliards de tonnes-kilomètre (contre 2,70 mia. de t.km en 2000). Le DvS s’est montré satisfait “que les gains de trafic des années précédentes ont pu être maintenus” malgré un certain ralentissement de l’économie. La construction de nouveaux murs de quai a indéniablement contribué aux bons résultats.
