Anvers entend combiner terminaux dédiés ou semi-dédiés et concurrence interne “En tant qu’autorité portuaire, nous ne sommes pas restés insensibles à la globalisation et à ses effets sur le plan économique. Ainsi nous avons encouragé la fusion entre nos deux principales entreprises de manutention et sommes rapidement passés d’une situation présentant une forte concurrence interne et un certain nombres d’acteurs à une situation où un seul opérateur traite 85% du trafic containérisé. Nous accueillons les acteurs étrangers de gabarit mondial... PSA Corp et P&O Ports”. C’est ce qu’a déclaré l’échevin du port d’Anvers L. Delwaide lors de la première session de la conférence TOC 2002 qui se tient ces jours-ci à Anvers.
L’héliportage des pilotes sera-t-il bientôt impossible la nuit? En cas de gros temps, on fait depuis quelques années appel à un hélicoptère pour porter des pilotes à bord de navires maritimes qui s’approchent de la côte belge. Cet hélicoptère a en raison de prescriptions techniques sur le plan de l’environnement droit à un contingent de mouvements nocturnes limité par an. Il est fort probable que ces vols de nuit seront supprimés d’ici la fin de l’été, car le contingent est quasiment entièrement épuisé et la ministre compétente flamande Vera Dua reste sourde aux implorations du service de pilotage DAB-Loodswezen afin de rémédier à la situation. Cela pourrait mener à des situations dangereuses au poste de pilotage ‘Westpost’ et en tout cas à une sensible hausse des coûts pour les clients armateurs en raison de retards.
