- Handico s’arme en vue de la croissance dans le groupage et la logistique
Handico Terminals a investi plus de 60 millions de BEF (1,5 mio. d’EUR) dans un nouveau magasin dans la zone logistique du Luithagen à Anvers . Les 6.250 m2 de ce nouveau bâtiment permettront à la filiale du groupe Herfurth d’élargir sensiblement ses activités de manutention. Le nouveau hangar servira en particulier aux nouveaux développements des activités de groupage. Handico entend également y proposer dans une plus large mesure de la value added logistics (VAL). L’entreprise ambitionne de croître tant dans le port qu’en dehors.
- La desserte des ports US soumise à davantage de contraintes de sécurité?
Après l’attaque terroriste qui a frappé New York et Washington les autorités américaines ont pris conscience du fait que leur territoire national est désormais visé directement. Elles vont dès lors prendre des mesures drastiques en matière de sécurité, qui perdureront. Si les aéroports et les trafics aériens sont directement concernés, le transport maritime l’est tout autant, car les navires, plus particulièrement ceux qui battent le pavillon étoilé, peuvent également être pris pour cible d’attentats. De même, ils peuvent servir à transporter des cargaisons susceptibles d’être utilisées pour perpétrer des attentats.
- Conseil des Transports extraordinaire sur la sécurité dans les aéroports
Les ministres européens des Transports se rencontreront ce vendredi soir à 19.30 en réunion extraordinaire à la suite des attaques terroristes sur le World Trade Center à New York et sur le Pentagone à Washington. Il s’agit d’une rencontre formelle des quinze ministres concernés. Le seul point figurant à l’agenda porte sur la sécurité dans les aéroports de l’Union européenne. Selon la commissaire européenne Loyola de Palacio (Transport), le fait qu’il s’agisse d’un conseil des ministres formel signifie que des décisions peuvent éventuellement être prises, mais elle ne pouvait pas affirmer avec certitude hier s’il fallait s’attendre à des mesures concrètes.
- Rhenania Intermodal Transport ouvre un bureau à Anvers
