- L’industrie maritime condamne les mesures de sécurité arbitraires dans les ports US
L’Industrie maritime internationale a interpellé le commissaire du service d’immigration américain, James W. Ziglar, au sujet des mesures introduites par son service dans les ports américains. Ces mesures sont qualifiées de discriminatoires parce qu’elles semblent être appliquées de manière arbitraire et qu’en plus ce sont les armements qui doivent prendre en charge les coûts de ces mesures. Plusieurs organisations du secteur ont demandé un entretien d’urgence pour discuter de la situation.
- Dragados prend le contrôle de Sintax Logistica
Le groupe espagnol Dragados va acquérir la société espagnole de transport de véhicules finis et de services connexes Sintax Logistica (ex-Walon Iberica). L’information, parue à la fin de la semaine passée dans la presse espagnole, a été confirmée. Dans un premier temps, Dragados achète 70% des actions, et il a été convenu qu’il achètera les 30% restants dans les trois années à venir. Sintax est un des acteurs majeurs sur la scène de la logistique automobile en Espagne et au Portugal, mais il commence également à être présent dans d’autres pays comme la France (e.a. pour Toyota à Valenciennes) et en Belgique (à Zeebrugge).
- CFF: la faiblesse conjoncturelle et les interruptions de trafic ont fait baisser le trafic fret de 10,4%
Résultat contrasté pour les CFF fin du premier semestre 2002: la division voyageurs a vu ses prestations et ses revenus augmenter, le résultat du premier semestre étant positif. Mais le trafic marchandises a été fortement touché par les nombreuses interruptions de lignes sur l’axe Nord/Sud à Chiasso et Luino. Les produits du trafic de l’ensemble des CFF se montent à 1.414,4 mio. de CHF, en recul de 40,3 mio. de CHF; le résultat d’exploitation de l’entreprise est passé de 158,9 mio. de CHF mi-2001 à 31,1 mio. de CHF mi-2002.
- La Poste réalise plus de 50% de son chiffre d’affaires “hors monopole”
Avec près de deux cents filiales, le groupe de La Poste française a réalisé en 2001 un chiffre d’affaires global de 17,028 milliards d’EUR. Le président Martin Vial insiste sur le fait que ce CA est désormais généré à 56% par des activités exercées en dehors du “monopole” postal. Le groupe intervient en effet sur trois grands métiers: le courrier (qui représente encore 60% des recettes), les services financiers (qui en génèrent 25%) et l’ensemble “colis + logistique” (qui intervient pour 15% du total).
