  • Trafic combiné: l’UIRR prévoit une croissance globale de 1% en 2002
    Pour l’ensemble de l’exercice 2002, l’Union internationale des sociétés de transport combiné rail-route (UIRR) s’attend à noter une croissance de 1% du nombre d’envois. Il faut toutefois tenir compte du trafic assuré par RAlpin, qui n’est pas comptabilisé par l’UIRR puisque la compagnie n’en fait pas partie. Avec ce trafic, la croissance serait de 2,4%. Et s’il n’y avait pas eu différents problèmes externes comme au tunnel sous la Manche, les glissements de terrains en Suisse et les inondations de l’Elbe, on aurait pu atteindre une croissance de 5%.

  • Anvers: New Wave Logistics veut doubler sa capacité à Beveren
    “Lors de l’acquisition du groupe de manutention portuaire américain Ceres, figurait dans la corbeille le nouveau terminal à containers d’Amsterdam. Il fallait reprendre l’entreprise dans son ensemble. Cette reprise s’inscrit néanmoins dans notre stratégie en tant qu’exploitant de terminaux.” Yuji Hirano, executive vice-president de NYK Logistics & Megacarrier, que nous avons rencontré à l’occasion de la 6e conférence de l’International Federation of Port Cargo Distributors (IFPCD), qui se tenait ces jours-ci à Anvers, se montre assez confiant en ce qui concerne le sort du terminal d’Amsterdam, qui attend depuis plus d’un an son premier client. Il devait d’ailleurs consacrer quelques heures ce jeudi à un voyage en hélicoptère vers Amsterdam pour survoler ce terminal révolutionnaire et se faire ainsi une idée plus précise de l’importance de l’outil.
