  • TNWA concentre le loop CEX sur Anvers
    Depuis plusieurs mois, il est question que le groupe The New World Alliance (TNWA) transfère ses services de Rotterdam sur Anvers, ce qui a évidemment provoqué de sérieux remous de l’autre côté du Moerdijk, plus particulièrement chez ECT, qui risquait de perdre un paquet annuel de quelque 450.000 TEU. Inutile de dire que du côté d’ECT on a multiplié les maneuvres et contre-offres afin d’éviter ce transfert. D’après les informations dont nous disposons, une première décision est finalement tombée, qui se traduira par un moindre mal pour Rotterdam. TNWA va concentrer un de ses trois loops nord-européens, le service CEX (China Europe-Express), sur Anvers, au détriment de Rotterdam.
  • Duisbourg poursuit son vaste programme d’investissement
    Le port intérieur de Duisbourg, le plus grand d’Europe, vient de clôturer une excellente année et poursuit sans relâche sa réorientation stratégique, passant d’un port vraquier traditionnel à un important hub logistique européen. La croissance du chiffre d’affaires de l’an dernier est toutefois entièrement à mettre à l’actif de la gestion terrestre et pas des activités portuaires, qui sont en recul suite à la faible conjoncture économique et à des modifications structurelles. Les investissements ont atteint l’an dernier un record absolu.
  • Le port d’Anvers met en service un scanner à containers mobile
    L’administration des douanes du district Anvers vient de recevoir son premier scanner à containers mobile pour renforcer les contrôles de containers dans le port. Il s’agit du HCV-Mobile de l’entreprise spécialisée en systèmes de sécurité Heimann Systems. L’achat a coûté à l’autorité belge 4.375.000 EUR. Selon le ministre des Finances Didier Reynders, les fonds nécessaires pour l’achat d’un deuxième scanner ont déjà été libérés.
  • La navigation de ligne à l’aube d’oligopoles en raison de la concurrence?
    Les grands oligopoles maritimes sont-ils inévitables dans un monde où le libre-échange et la globalisation sont la norme? Chris Bourne, managing director de MOL (Europe), pense que la chute des frets et la forte pression concurrentielle pourraient entraîner à terme des fusions et acquisitions forcées dans la navigation de ligne et annoncer la création de méga groupes. Le transport maritime de containers a été très rentable en 2000 grâce à une faible augmentation de la capacité par rapport à la demande, a-t-il dit à la conférence londonienne. Un an plus tard, la navigation de ligne ne l’était plus du tout en raison de la faible demande et de l’écroulement des frets.
