  • Le “manifeste sécurisé” risque d’entraver la fluidité du transport de marchandises
    La douane américaine a annoncé cet été qu’elle désirait désormais disposer du manifeste 24 heures avant que le navire ne soit chargé en Europe, alors que certains termes du manifeste ne seront plus acceptés. Cette annoncé à suscité de nombreuses réactions dans les milieux maritimes. La communauté portuaire anversoise, qui a pleinement coopéré aux initiatives de sécurité de la douane américaine dès le début, se pose de nombreuses questions sur les conséquences pratiques de cette exigence. L’AGHA a regroupé ces questions et les à remises aux autorités douanières américaines. Dans ce contexte, une réaction rapide de la douane américaine et des éclaircissements sur la responsabilité du co-chargeur, des ports et des agents portuaires qui ne participent pas au programme Container Security Initiative (CSI) sont les principales préoccupations.

Ledit terminal fonctionne actuellement à plein régime, soit 100.000 t de papier à réceptionner et à distribuer par mois ou 1,2 mio. de t/an. Des études relatives à une phase d’expansion sont en cours, et des décisions devraient tomber prochainement.

  • Transpacifique: des contrats de services “flexibles”... à la hausse
    Bien que l’on assiste à un boom des exportations chinoises vers l’Amérique du Nord (également vers l’Europe), les armements qui opèrent sur le secteur transpacifique restent confrontés à de graves problèmes, qui résultent de la surcapacité considérable qui subsiste sur ce théâtre opérationnel. Il est devenu impératif pour ces armements de générer plus de revenu, donc de procéder à de nouvelles adaptations tarifaires. Parallèlement certains acteurs en sont réduits à procéder à des rationalisations au niveaux de leurs services.
