C’est ce qu’affirme notre confrère Les Echos. Si Bolloré venait effectivement à ne pas participer à la recapitalisation de l’entreprise logistique de la SNCF, celle-ci risque de devenir laborieuse. En effet, ce seraient uniquement les actionnaires actuels qui devraient contribuer à la recapitalisation. Ce qui, entre autres pour la SNCF, ne serait pas évident.
L’URS va investir 147 mio. d’EUR dans une nouvelle flotte L’Union de Remporquage et de Sauvetage URS) se porte mieux. Le lancement la semaine dernière au chantier naval danois Orskov Staalkibværft du puissant remorqueur “Union Manta”, a été l’occasion pour la direction de faire le point sur l’évolution de l’entreprise, qui a renoué avec les chiffres noirs et consolide désormais ses positions. En effet, à l’issue du premier semestre de l’exercice en cours, le CA de 24,76 mio. d’euros (inférieur de 50% par rapport à 1997) a laissé un résultat positif de 3,4 mio. d’euros tandis que le cash flow se situait à 7,12 mio. d’euros. Pour la fin de l’année, ces résultats devraient se présenter comme suit: respectivement 48,42 mio. d’euros, 6,34 (bénéfice doublé par rapport à 2001) et 12,86 mio. L’heure est au renouvellement et au renforcement des moyens d’actions, ce qui implique, en dehors du remorqueur précité, un programme d’investissements de 112 mio. d’euros à répartir sur 5 ans et que l’URS financera en grande partie avec ses propres moyens.
