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.

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.
