  • AN: Cosco, K Line et Yangming suppriment un loop et coopèrent avec Grand Alliance/CP Ships
    Dans le contexte des trafics Est-Ouest, le segment Atlantique est lui aussi soumis à des mesures de rationalisation drastiques. La raison est simple: ce trafic est en régression, en ce sens qu’il n’y a plus de croissance westbound tandis que pour les volumes eastbound il y a eu déclin en 2001 et la situaton ne s’améliore guère cette année. C’est dire que la surcapacité pèse sur les revenus des armements. D’où l’accord passé entre CP Ships, ses partenaires de Grand Alliance et le trio composé des armements Cosco, Yanming et K Line et qui se traduit par la création d”un “Atlantic Space Charter Agreement” et par le retrait d’un des deux services que le trio en question assure l’Atlantique.
  • Nomad Express devient une filiale de Gosselin World Wide Moving

  • “New Cargo” doit devenir le meilleur - et le plus efficient - opérateur de fret sur le réseau ferroviaire belge
    Face à la libéralisation du transport international de marchandises dès mars 2003 sur le Réseau Trans-Européen de Fret Ferroviaire (RTEFF), face à la libéralisation totale du fret ferroviaire international et national en 2008 (voire en 2006), il est plus que temps pour le département marchandises de la SNCB de se réorganiser afin de devenir non seulement le meilleur opérateur de transport de fret, mais aussi le plus efficient économiquement. L’arrivée récente, symbolique certes, de l’opérateur DLC, montre bien que concurrence il y a déjà et qu’elle ne fera que croître. Les ports belges sont des atouts de premier plan pour la SNCB, mais également des objets de convoitise pour ses concurrents.
  • Toyota et PSA Peugeot-Citroën donnent le premier coup de pioche de l’usine commune de Kolin
    Jean-Martin Folz, président de PSA Peugeot-Citroën, Fujio Cho, président de Toyota, et Milos Zeman, Premier ministre de la République tchèque, ont donné mercredi à Kolin, à 65 km à l’Est de Prague, le premier coup de pioche symbolique de la construction de l’usine qui produira en commun un nouveau modèle d’entrée de gamme pour Peugeot, Citroën et Toyota. L’usine entrera en service en 2005 et devrait produire 300.000 véhicules par an (à raison de deux tiers pour PSA et un tiers pour Toyota).
