  • La mise en service de l’”Uilenspiegel” confirme la stratégie européenne de DEME
    “L’”Uilenspiegel” constitue une nouvelle étape d’un programme de rénovation lancé suite à l’interdiction par le gouvernement des coques en forme de V”, a déclaré le directeur général de DEME, Marc Stordiau, à l’occasion du baptême de la nouvelle drague suceuse traînante. L’unité, dont son Altesse Royale la princesse Mathilde a accepté d’être la marraine, a été construite sur le chantier naval De Merwede du groupe IHC Caland et a représenté un investissement de 60 mio. d’EUR. La drague a été spécialement conçue pour une utilisation dans des eaux peu profondes. De ce fait, elle cadre parfaitement dans la stratégie de DEME visant à se concentrer sur l’Europe.

  • Sernam veut se forger un avenir d’entreprise “comme les autres”
    A l’origine, le Sernam intervenait au sein de la SNCF comme service national de messagerie. Année après année, les déficits s’accumulaient et ils étaient régulièrement épongés par la SNCF, donc via des fonds publics. Ce qui faussait les données de la concurrence. D’où la plainte que des entreprises privées déposèrent le 3 février 1999 auprès des instances européennes. Suite à celle-ci, la Commission européenne a imposé un plan de redressement. Sernam s’est alors engagé dans une profonde mutation, visant à devenir une entreprise “comme les autres”. Cette mutation est désormais bien avancée, même si, contrairement à ce qui était prévu initiallement, le groupe Geodis n’y a pas participé. Le point de la situation chez Sernam, en commençant par la question du rôle qu’a refusé de jouer jusqu’à maintenant Geodis, mais qu’il pourrait jouer à l’avenir.
