  • "Le Havre, c'est la Corse!"
    Dans son édition datée du mardi 14 décembre, le quotidien français "La Tribune" consacre le titre principal et l'essentiel de sa dernière page au "limogeage politique" d'André Graillot, actuel directeur général du Port autonome du Havre (PAH). Pour les armateurs et expéditeurs qui fréquentent ce port, l'éclairage apporté est intéressant, car il semble bel et bien confirmer que les autorités de tutelle sont décidées à mettre un terme aux évolutions libérales que bon nombre de professionnels souhaitaient.
  • La liaison d'hinterland de Flessingue via le tracé historique du Rhin d'Acier?
    Tout le monde semble de plus en plus concerné par le fonctionnement des chemins de fer néerlandais. Ils font actuellement l'objet de discussions à la Chambre néerlandaise, où l'on se demande si les autorités ne devraient pas exercer un plus grand contrôle. Entre-temps, on ne compte plus les débats sur le Rhin d'Acier et la ministre des Transports, Netelenbos, a été interpellée parce qu'elle avait donné à sa collègue belge Isabelle Durant les garanties que cette ligne ferroviaire pourrait traverser une zone de silence. Et finalement, Daan Bruinooge, de Zeeland Seaports, a déclaré mardi dernier que la liaison d'hinterland du terminal à containers de Flessingue pouvait rejoindre l'Allemagne via une nouvelle ligne ferroviaire passant par Anvers... via le tracé historique du Rhin d'Acier, il est vrai.
  • Autriche: pas de road pricing pour camions avant juillet 2002?
    Le système de road pricing pour les poids lourds sur les autoroutes autrichiennes sera introduit en juillet 2002... au plus tôt. C'est ce qu'a déclaré Harald Dirnbacher, porte-parole de la société Autobahnen- und Schnellstrassen-Financierungs AG (Asfinag) au journal "Die Presse". Il a précisé que la date prévue - le 1er janvier 2002 - ne pourra en aucun cas être respectée.
  • Stevaert veut jeter à la poubelle les demandes de concession pour les aéroports flamands
    Le ministre flamand de la Mobilité Steve Stevaert va proposer au gouvernement flamand de rejeter les propositions de concession pour l'exploitation des aéroports régionaux, qu'il entend remplacer par un appel d'offre limité dans le cadre d'un accord de gestion avec un groupe privé. La décision concernant le prolongement de la piste d'atterrissage de Deurne serait de la sorte une fois de plus remise, cette fois jusqu'après les élections communales, pouvait-on lire dans la presse générale. Mais cela nous a été complètement démenti par le ministre: "Je n'ai jamais parlé de report. Pour moi, la chose est simple: si personne du privé n'est prêt à payer, je ne vois pas pourquoi les autorités devraient le faire." Par la même occasion, il a confirmé la vocation d'aéroport d'affaires de Deurne.

  • Bunkers havoc in Rotterdam

One of the ships affected is Jacob Stolt-Nielsen's (inset top) Stolt Sincerity. The ship almost ran aground when it suffered power failure off the Azores. Another ship had to be rescued by a tug in heavy seas.
