- Temps d’attente: une convention entre HNN et les transporteurs routiers se dessine
Depuis le début de cette semaine, les transporteurs routiers facturent un supplément lorqu’ils sont confrontés à des temps d’attente trop longs aux terminaux à containers du port d’Anvers. C’est principalement au Noordzeeterminal, victime de son succès, que le problème des temps d’attente se produirait.

Il a bon espoir qu’ils devraient bientôt se limiter à une demi-heure.
