  • Kühne & Nagel enregistre un bénéfice record en 2001
    Le groupe suisse Kühne & Nagel a annoncé lundi au cours d’une conférence de presse à Zürich que malgré une conjoncture difficile et un chiffre d’affaires en progression relativement faible, il a dégagé l’année passée un bénéfice net record de 160,5 millions de CHF, en hausse de 27,5% par rapport à 2000. La croissance devrait se poursuivre en 2002. Le groupe va continuer à se profiler davantage comme un logisticien capable d’assurer la gestion mondiale de la chaîne d’approvisionnement pour de grands groupes.
  • Le deuxième accès ferroviaire au port d’Anvers sera prêt en 2010/2012
    Si tout va bien, le premier coup de pelle pour le deuxième accès ferroviaire au port d’Anvers sera donné en 2005. Et selon que la Flandre sera ou non en mesure de pré- et cofinancer certaines études ou certains travaux, l’année de mise en service sera 2010 ou 2012. C’est aussi en principe en 2012 que le tunnel ferroviaire du Liefkenshoek entre les deux rives de l’Escaut devrait être opérationnel. En d’autres termes, pendant une décennie et par manque de capacité, la SNCB ne pourra guère faire circuler beaucoup plus de trains de voyageurs et de marchandises dans la région d’Anvers.
  • Peltracom considère le terminal tourbier de Gand comme une étape vers le top cinq européen
    Gand compte un nouveau trafic maritime de niche. Depuis la fin de la semaine passée, des caboteurs importent à une fréquence de une à deux escales par semaine de la tourbe en provenance essentiellement de Lettonie et d’Irlande pour le compte du groupe Peltracom d’Overpelt. Peltracom vient d’écrire avec le groupe portuaire Sea-Invest une nouvelle page de l’histoire “discom” gantoise, en couplant le transbordement de la marchandise à sa commercialisation et sa distribution. Le manutentionnaire CBM, filiale de Sea-Invest, a déchargé ces cargaisons au Sifferdok, d’où elles ont été amenées par bande transporteuse à un tout nouveau terminal à l’arrière-quai. Dans ces installations, “les plus grandes dans leur genre”, Peltracom transforme la tourbe en terreau avant de le conditionner et de l’entreposer puis de le distribuer par camion sur plusieurs marchés d’Europe occidentale ou (dans une moindre mesure) par container pour les destinations outre-mer. L’investissement total se chiffre actuellement à 13 millions d’EUR. Les nouveaux développements coûteront encore 5 mio. d’EUR supplémentaires. Entre-temps, environ 35 nouveaux emplois ont été créés.
  • Conflit entre l’Italie et la France sur le tunnel du Mont-Blanc
    L’interdiction des poids lourds dans le tunnel du Mont-Blanc est à la base d’un sérieux conflit entre la France et l’Italie. Cet axe de transport, vital pour l’économie italienne, est rouvert depuis le 9 mars pour les voitures, mais les Italiens veulent à présent qu’il en aille de même pour le transport de fret. L’Italie s’est tournée hier dans ce cadre vers la Commission européenne.
