  • La sécurité des flux containérisés dans les ports européens passée au crible
    L’objectif de la Container Security Initiative (CSI) est de sécuriser davantage les flux de containers en direction des Etats-Unis. Aux yeux de l’administration américaine, cela implique également des contrôles plus sévères dans les pays d’où proviennent les flux de cargaisons. Selon nos collègues de la presse spécialisée néerlandaise, une équipe de la douane américaine va coopérer avec la douane néerlandaise dans le cadre d’un projet pilote à Rotterdam. Anvers, qui est un important port de chargement vers les Etats-Unis avec un trafic de 8,6 mio. de tonnes en 2001 (dont 2,8 mio. de tonnes containérisées), est également disposé à coopérer aux initiatives américaines. Le Customs Attaché de l’ambassade américaine à Paris est attendu dans le port anversois en mai prochain, tandis que la douane belge sera représentée à la réunion de l’OMI organisée autour de ce thème à Londres.
  • Deutsche Post va soumettre toutes ses filiales en Europe à un audit

Le programme d’uniformisation définitif ne sera révélé que cette été. Entre-temps, la nervosité augmente parmi les salariés des différentes filiales, car ils craignent que le plan mènera à des suppressions d’emploi.
  • CSAV poursuit son expansion dans les trafics Est-Ouest et Nord-Sud
    L’industrie du liner a beaucoup évolué ces vingt dernières années sous la pression de la containérisation et de ses implications dans le domaine des prestations intermodales intégrées. Nombreux sont les armements traditionnels qui ont disparu, tandis que d’autres sont parvenus à s’adapter, à évoluer vers ces nouvelles dimensions indispensables aujourd’hui pour rester dans les grands trafics internationaux. Dans ce contexte, le groupe maritime chilien Compañia Sudamericana de Vapores (CSAV), fondé en 1872, est le seul opérateur d’Amérique latine qui soit parvenu à s’inscrire dans le club des méga-carriers Est-Ouest et Nord Sud. Il a obtenu ce statut grâce à une politique judicieuse de diversification de ses activités, qui lui a assuré une assise financière solide et les moyens de poursuivre les expansions assez spectaculaires auxquelles il a procédé ces dernières année sous la direction de son président Ricardo Claro Valdés.
  • L’Oréal crée une nouvelle plate-forme logistique à Nivelles
