- Le CA de Frans Maas a franchi le cap de 2 mia. de NLG en 2000 (+35%)
Le CA (net) de Koninkljke Frans Maas Groep (FM) a augmenté de 35% à 942,1 mio. d’EUR (plus de 2 mia. de NLG) l’année dernière. Le résultat net a progressé de 10% à 18,4 mio. d’EUR, le résultat d’exploitation de 13% à 31,6 mio. d’EUR. Selon Henk Benjamins, le président du groupe logistique et d’expédition néerlandais, 2000 a été “une année difficile mais couronnée de succès, avec une croissance sensible mais saine à la clé”. La hausse du CA s’est fait en partie de manière autonome (43%) et en partie via des acquisitions (57%). Pour cette année, il table sur une nouvelle croissance, avec l’accent sur une hausse de la profitabilité. A moyen terme, il estime que la croissance sera principalement générée
par l’Europe de l’Est et FM s’attache en conséquence à développer son réseau dans cette région. Ainsi, l’entreprise a pris le contrôle de deux entreprises bulgares en début de mois.
- Le Parlement flamand s’informe sur la nécessité pour Anvers d’avoir les 14,50 m
Jeudi dernier avait lieu au Parlement flamand la deuxième session d’auditions prévues dans le cadre du débat politique qui doit être mené en ce qui concerne le point de vue que la Flandre va adopter face au partenaire néerlandais dans le cadre de cette vision à long terme de l’Escaut et de son estuaire, laquelle vient d’ailleurs de faire l’objet d’un important rapport conjoint. Cette séance, qui dura toute la journée, fut assurément des plus intéressantes et ce n’est pas sans raison que le ministre des Travaux publics flamand Steve Stevaert l’a suivie de bout en bout en compagnie de son chef de cabinet.
- Hamburg Süd/CMA CGM ramènent à Anvers leur service sud-américain
En shipping, rien n’est immuable. Les services de ligne régulière containérisés ont la possibilité de modifier leur rotation au gré des circonstances, qui se rapportent généralement aux positions de marché, aux exigences en matière de timing des escales, enfin et surtout, aux coûts inhérents à la logistique de desserte terrestre des marchés. C’est manifestement ce dernier aspect qui a incité les armements Hamburg Süd/Aliança et CMA CGM à ramener de Zeebrugge à Anvers le service conjoint qu’ils assurent entre l’Europe du Nord et la côte Est de l’Amérique du Sud. Pour le manutentionnaire FCT (Flanders Container Terminals), ce départ implique la perte d’un trafic de 50.000 TEU par an.
