  • La sécurité dans les ports constitue un défi majeur
    Ces derniers mois, la sécurité dans les ports et à bord des navires a fait l’objet de plusieurs initiatives - surtout de la part des Etats-Unis - qui ont été étudiées sur base bilatérale ou multilatérale par des spécialistes de l’industrie maritime. C’est pourquoi les organisateurs de la “Terminal Operations Conference Europe” avaient décidé de convoquer une réunion spéciale sur la sécurité dans l’industrie maritime. Il est ressorti des différentes présentations et des réactions à ce sujet qu’il reste encore beaucoup de travail à faire et que dans la pratique, les mesures de sécurité poseront encore beaucoup de problèmes, surtout dans les petits ports et dans certaines régions géographiques, sans même parler de leur coût de revient.
  • Ryanair fait un pied de nez
    La compagnie à bas tarifs irlandaise Ryanair a clôturé son dernier exercice, le 31 mars 2002, sur un bénéfice après impôts de 150,4 mio. d’EUR. Cela représente une augmentation de 44%. Le nombre de passagers et le taux d’occupation ont également fortement progressé. Le fait que le conflit relatif à l’utilisation du nom de ‘Frankfurt Hahn’ a aussi tourné en faveur de la compagnie ne pourra que renforcer ces prestations.
  • La libéralisation du rail en Belgique est enfin engagée

La ministre des Transports, Isabelle Durant, avait présenté ce texte qui doit permettre d’adapter les structures en Belgique à l’overture de ce marché, le 1er mars 2003. Elle propose de créer deux nouveaux organes indépendants (un régulateur et un répartiteur) qui devront permettre de respecter la politique européenne sans devoir scinder l’exploitation de la SNCB de la gestion de l’infrastructure ferroviaire.
  • Les ports français doivent mieux cibler leur action
    Chargée du portefeuille de la Mer au sein du gouvernement Raffarin, Nicole Ameline se déclare prête à agir pour faire évoluer le statut des ports français. “Ils doivent se recentrer sur leur cœur de mission publique”, estime la toute nouvelle secrétaire d’Etat à la Mer. A première vue, cette notion de “cœur de mission publique” n’est pas des plus claires. L’intéressée explique: “Il ne s’agit pas de privatiser les ports, mais il faut considérer que l’exploitation commerciale des infrastructures peut être confiée à des entreprises de services, dans le cadre de contrats d’exploitation d’une durée suffisamment longue pour leur garantir de pouvoir amortir les investissements. Cette évolution doit se faire d’une façon très concertée.”
