BLG acquiert 50% du groupe allemand Harms Les groupes brêmois BLG logistics et E.H. Harms sont arrivés à un accord sur la prise de participation du premier dans le second. Rappelons qu’en décembre dernier, notre publication-soeur DVZ révélait que des négociations étaient en cours (LL du 28 décembre 2001). Ce même jour de l’année passée, on apprenait que Bremerhaven perdait son leadership européen dans les trafics automobiles, étant détrôné de justesse par Zeebrugge. L’acquisition par BLG de 50% du transporteur de voitures Harms s’inscrit dans le contexte de cette lutte. Bremerhaven (majoritaire dans BLG) veut devenir plus attrayant en offrant une palette de services plus large.
Evergreen Marine a lancé ses nouveaux services pendulaires Pour l’armement taiwanais Evergreen, le mois de février 2002 marque la fin d’une époque, celle des services tour du monde east et westbound. Une page de son histoire est ainsi tournée. Un autre chapitre commence: celui des services pendulaires. Pour les chargeurs, cette mutation implique peu de changement étant donné que les fréquences restent hebdomadaires à jour fixe et l’armement a veillé à maintenir la même couverture de marchés.
Steve Stevaert: “Chaque franc affecté à la voie d’eau est bien investi” Le nouveau terminal roro pour charges lourdes construit le long du canal Albert à Geel via un partenariat public-privé entre le Dienst voor de Scheepvaart (80%) et l’exploitant Roro-Trans a été inauguré officiellement vendredi par le ministre flamand de la Mobilité, Steve Stevaert. Le projet cadre dans le programme de murs de quai du gouvernement flamand, dont le ministre Stevaert est le grand artisan. Il a dès lors profité de l’occasion pour défendre sa politique en la matière devant une colonne de 460 tonnes et 73 m de long, embarquée le lendemain à destination de l’Extrême-Orient.
CMA CGM à la recherche d’expéditeurs-logisticiens Comme tout méga-carrier qui se respecte, l’armement CMA CGM entend s’impliquer totalement dans la logistique, l’objectif étant d’assurer un service plus complet à la clientèle, c’est-à-dire offrir une logistique intégrée s’inscrivant dans le contexte dit “supply-chain”, d’aider la croissance et par la même occasion de mieux contrôler les flux de trafic. On sait que l’armement a déjà mis en place une organisation appelée “Logistics Link”, qui est opérationnelle en Asie et en Europe où un partenariat a été réalisé avec Giraud Logistic. L’armement veut aller plus loin. Ainsi que le président J. Saade l’a confié à notre confrère “Trade Winds”, l’armement cherche maintenant à acquérir un groupe d’expédition-logistique de taille moyenne, soit en Europe, soit aux Etats-Unis, groupe qui a une présence tant en Asie qu’aux USA et traite un trafic de l’ordre de 100.000 TEU dans chaque sens avec l’Europe.
