  • Vopak clôture le premier semestre sur un bénéfice en recul
    Vopak, qui se focalise sur la logistique de vracs liquides et l’entreposage citernier, a enregistré au premier semestre un bénéfice net de 45,5 millions d’EUR. Il s’agit là - à périmètre constant et tenant compte de la scission de la distribution chimique dans Univar - d’une baisse de près de 31% par rapport au premier semestre 2001. Le résultat d’exploitation a chuté de 11,2% à 103,3 mio. d’EUR, pour un chiffre d’affaires en recul de 1,9% à 403,1 mio. d’EUR. L’Europe et l’Amérique du Nord ont déçu, l’Asie et l’Amérique latine ont noté une forte croissance, mais n’ont pas pesé assez lourd pour inverser la tendance générale. Dans aucune région, Vopak n’a toutefois enregistré de perte d’exploitation.
  • Zeebrugge en très légère progression (+0,3%) au premier semestre
    Le port de Zeebrugge a renoué avec la croissance au cours du premier semestre. La progression du trafic est restée certes très modérée, mais la prestation n’en est pas moins jugée bonne comparée aux résultats de certains autres ports de la rangée du Nord. Le trafic maritime global a atteint à la fin juin un volume total de 16,48 millions de tonnes, en hausse de 0,3% par rapport au premier semestre de l’année précédente. Les éléments moteurs de cette performance sont les containers (+12,3%) et les vracs liquides (+10,1%).
  • Rotterdam renoue avec la croissance dans le trafic containérisé
    Les autorités portuaires de Rotterdam viennent de rapporter un trafic total de plus de 159 mio. de tonnes à l’issue des six premiers mois de l’année, une perte de 1,7% par rapport aux 162 mio. de tonnes enregistrées durant la même période en 2001. Selon le directeur-général Scholten, Rotterdam se réjouit surtout du revirement dans le secteur des containers, où le port mosan avait été le seul grand port européen à perdre du terrain ces deux dernières années. Pour l’ensemble de l’année, Rotterdam table sur un volume similaire à celui de 2001.
