Nous examinons constamment l’évolution de la situation, mais n’avons pour l’instant aucun plan allant dans le sens d’une augmentation de la capacité” David J. Appleton, président d’APL pour l’Europe que nous avons rencontré lors de son passage à Anvers en compagnie d’Eddy Wouters, managing director d’APL (Belgium), insiste plus particulièrement sur cette prudence qu’adopte son armement, car le déséquilibre dans ce trafic reste important.
