  • Eurosal revient à Anvers et accélère sa rotation
    Après quelques années d’absence, le consortium containérisé EUROSAL, qui au départ d’Europe du Nord dessert la côte ouest de l’Amérique du Sud, a décidé de mettre un terme à son escale directe à Zeebrugge où les navires sont traités au Flanders Container Terminals, pour revenir à Anvers, plus précisément au terminal de P&O Ports à la darse Delwaide, donc derrière les écluses. Le premier départ d’Anvers est prévu pour le 3 mars.
  • Brant Logistics Services construit un nouveau centre de distribution à Willebroek
    Brant Logistics Services, une branche de la société d’investissement Brant Beheer et société holding du logisticien TDS, a entamé les travaux de construction d’un centre de distribution axé sur une prestation de services multifonctionnelle. La nouvelle plate-forme logistique devrait être mise en service d’ici l’été.
  • La croissance du trafic de fret en Allemagne va s’accélérer à partir de 2003
    Une partie des résultats sur les prévisions de transport de marchandises et de personnes en Allemagne vient d’être publiée dans un rapport. La conclusion générale est que la croissance, fortement affaiblie ces dernières années, va à nouveau s’accélérer à partir de 2003 et que cette croissance sera entièrement à mettre à l’actif du transport routier. La part du transport ferroviaire continue de s’éroder.
  • “Les accords avec les clients importants et fidèles doivent être respectés”
    “La darse Delwaide restera active dans le domaine de la containérisation et le développement de la darse à marée ne se fera pas à son détriment. Nous espérons que la reprise des travaux interviendra le 29 mars prochain”, c’est ce qu’a déclaré l’administrateur délégué de l’Entreprise portuaire anversoise Eddy Bruyninckx à l’occasion de la traditionnelle réception de nouvel an que donnait P&O Ports vendredi dernier.
  • Zénith Line accélère sa desserte de la COA
    La compagnie maritime Zénith Line, qui assure depuis avril 2001 une desserte régulière de la côte occidentale de l’Afrique (COA), donne ces jours-ci une nouvelle impulsion à ses opérations, qui se traduit par l’adjonction d’un troisième navire. Cela rend possible une accélération de la fréquence qui, d’un départ par mois, passe à 21 jours. Le partenariat qu’implique ce service, a également subi une modification, en ce sens que Conti-Lines en est devenu l’acteur principal avec 50%, les deux autres armements, à savoir Secam Gabon et Marfret, intervenant chacun à raison de 25%.
  • Norbert Dentressangle acquiert Van Mierlo
    Le groupe français Norbert Dentressangle a acheté la société de transport routier et de logistique néerlandaise Van Mierlo. C’est la première implantation du groupe français aux Pays-Bas. Cette transaction n’est pas étrangère à l’obtention d’un nouveau contrat de distribution pour Ikea dans le Benelux.
  • Ferryways lance un service ro/ro entre Ostende et Killingholme
    Presque deux ans après le lancement d’une première liaison ro/ro vers Ipswich, Ferryways a lancé un nouveau service ro/ro depuis Ostende vers la côte est de la Grande-Bretagne. Le port de destination pour ce nouveau service est Killingholme, un nouveau port situé à la rive sud de la Humber, environ trois miles en amont d’Immingham. Le nouveau service a été inauguré mardi matin depuis Ostende avec le départ du “Vilja”, un navire d’une capacité de 90 semi-remorques. Au cours de ce premier voyage, quinze unités fret ont été transportées.
  • Tunnel sous la Manche: déjà 1.000 trains perdus
    Depuis le 7 novembre 2001, le jour où la SNCF a décidé de limiter à un maximum de cinq - au lieu de 15 - le nombre de trains de marchandises pouvant emprunter le tunnel sous la Manche, un millier de trains destinés à la Grande-Bretagne ont été empêchés de circuler. “Une catastrophe pour l’économie britannique”, dit Philip Mengel, CEO de la compagnie ferroviaire EWS.
