  • Anvers: le terminal MSC/HNN doit faire l’objet d’un réaménagement
    A chaque problème correspond une solution. Ainsi, celui que vient de poser le Conseil d’Etat en annulant la xième correction du plan de secteur de la zone de Doel rive gauche, rendant ainsi à l’agriculture 8% de la superficie de la concession du terminal à containers à marée conjoint MSC/Hesse Noord Natie, va rapidement trouver sa solution. Certes, il s’agit pour les intéressés d’un retard supplémentaire évalué à 5 mois et des coûts supplémentaires... que quelqu’un devra bien couvrir. Il va sans dire que chez MSC c’est une fois de plus la déception, l’incompréhension face à la manière dont des dossiers vitaux pour l’économie de la Flandre sont traités, mais cela ne veut pas dire pour autant que l’armement va quitter le port scaldien. D’une part, on ne tranfère pas 1,6 à 1,8 mio. de TEU en l’espace de quelques mois, d’autre part, Anvers reste le principal marché de MSC, dont il apprécie les rendements opérationnels. En dehors des réactions intempestives et de l’élément sensationnel cher à une certaine presse, cet armement n’est pas prêt de quitter son hub bénéluxien.
