- Fednav: nouveaux tonnages en perspective
Malgré le fait que les Grands Lacs nord-américains souffrent depuis quelques années d’un manque d’eau, il y a de nouveau de l’intérêt de la part de certains armateurs pour faire construire du tonnage approprié sans pour autant l’exploiter eux-mêmes. Dans ce contexte, l’opérateur canadien Fednav, grand spécialiste du trafic des Grands Lacs, joue un rôle déterminant.
- France: le transport fluvial poursuit sur sa lancée
La Belgique n’est pas le seul pays où la navigation intérieure redresse la tête et reconquiert des parts de marché. L’Allemagne (voir article en page intérieure) et la France en fournissent deux autres illustrations.

La batellerie progresse plus vite que la route (+1,2%) et le rail (+6,2%), ses deux concurrents, constate avec satisfaction Voies Navigables de France.
- Le port de Rouen serein face au projet de directive
Pour caractériser l’attitude affichée par Rouen face au projet de directive européenne sur les services portuaires, il faut recourir à une image. La sérénité coiffe l’ensemble, mais elle repose sur quatre piliers: réflexion, vigilance, souplesse et fermeté. Cet ensemble vaut pour l’esprit du projet de directive, comme en ce qui concerne les interprétations faites à propos du financement des équipements, les fameux appels d’offres, ou encore la participation de l’autorité portuaire au capital d’une société en concurrence avec d’autres 100% privées.
