- L’Entreprise portuaire, l’AGHA et la FMA lancent un appel aux pilotes
Lors d’une conférence de presse commune, l’Entreprise portuaire d’Anvers, l’AGHA (l’organisation coupole du secteur privé du port d’Anvers), la Fédération Maritime d’Anvers (FMA) et un représentant du port de Zeebrugge ont appelé les pilotes à mettre un terme à leurs actions lundi matin. Ils estiment qu’outre les dommages économiques, l’image internationale du port en prend pour son grade. Ils plaident en outre pour la création d’une entreprise publique et autonome.
- Virgin Express s’intéresserait à la Sabena
Les médias britanniques ont annoncé le week-end dernier que Richard Branson, le patron de la compagnie low cost Virgin Express, a jeudi dernier eu un entretien avec le ministre des Entreprises et Participations Rik Daems concernant la situation de la navigation aérienne belge et l’éventuelle reprise d’activités de la Sabena. Il s’agirait principalement de certaines routes de la Sabena. Le Financial Times estime même que les négociations seront poursuivies cette semaine.
- Eurogulf Line s’impose en qualité de “niche carrier” vers les USA et le Mexique
En dépit d’une progression constante de la containérisation, le secteur du conventionnel/breakbulk reste très actif et l’on peut même dire qu’il a toujours de l’avenir, du moins à en juger certaines initiatives, comme celle du jeune armement Eurogulf Line, qui assure un service régulier entre Anvers et le golfe du Mexique, desservant Houston, Tampico et Vera Cruz. Cet armement vient de fêter sont quatrième anniversaire. Son succès remarquable compte tenu de la forte fréquentation des lignes containérisées sur cette route, il le doit à une sorte de partenariat avec son agent Van Ommeren Antwerpen (membre du Royal Burger Group), qui a la représentation exclusive en Europe du Nord, avec son manutentionnaire ABES s.a. et n’oublions pas la firme Perfect Europe qui
fait le lashing/securing. Il le doit également au fait qu’il est animé par une petite équipe hautement qualifiée et décidée.
- Railtrack devient une entreprise sans but lucratif à capital privé
Dimanche midi, le rideau est tombé sur Railtrack, l’entreprise privée cotée en bourse qui exploite 35.000 km de voies ferroviaires et 2.500 gares au Royaume-Uni. Le gouvernement britannique avait rejeté la demande de nouvelles subventions vendredi dernier et hier, le ministre du Transport John Byers a décidé de mettre fin au calvaire qui dure depuis plus de cinq ans. Les activités de Railtrack seront intégrées à une nouvelle entreprise sans but lucratif et à capital privé. Le bureau de consulting Ernst & Young a été chargé de la gestion de l’entreprise durant la période de transition.
