  • La directive portuaire pourrait se traduire par un libéralisation “à la carte”
    Le forcing espagnol aura finalement porté ses fruits. Les ministres européens des Transports ont finalement accepté la dernière version de la proposition de la Commission en matière de libéralisation des services portuaires, version amendée suite aux protestations qui se sont manifestées dans certains ports. Les amendements qui ont été apportés, notamment en ce qui concerne le “selfhandling” nous amènent à penser qu’il n’était en fait pas nécessaire d’élaborer une directive et qu’on risque même d’arriver à des distorsions du marché sur la scène portuaire européenne.

Mozafari à l’occasion de la visite à Anvers du chargeur Rasselstein Hoesch GmbH, qui collabore depuis 15 ans déjà avec l’armement iranien. Le sidérurgiste allemand du groupe Thyssen a déjà représenté durant cette période un demi million de tonnes. IRISL représente à Anvers 3 à 400.000 tonnes sur une base annuelle.
  • Les constructeurs de terminaux devront tirer les leçons de Dibden Bay
    “ Ceux qui envisagent de construire un terminal à containers greenfield devront dans une large mesure tenir compte des exigences sur le plan des compensations environnementales. A l’avenir, une partie de plus en plus importante des investissements et de l’énergie des promoteurs de projets pour containers devra être consacrée à la préservation de l’environnement”. Tel était le message du Capt. Jimmy Chestnutt d’ABP, le responsable du projet Dibden Bay, un nouveau terminal à containers à Southampton. Malgré les efforts d’ABP pour répondre à certaines préoccupations environnementales, il y avait et il y a toujours beaucoup d’objections au terminal. Mais malgré la procédure épuisante concernant la réalisation du projet, Chestnutt est convaincu du fait que d’ici le début de 2004 les premiers navires pourront amarrer à Dibden Bay.
