Le marché belge du camion a continué à progresser Contre toute attente, le marché belge du camion continue à grimper. Les statistiques pour le mois de mai publiées par la Febiac indiquent en effet que 6.135 véhicules de plus de 3,5 tonnes ont été immatriculés au cours des cinq premiers mois, soit 21,5% de plus que les 5.049 unités de la période correspondante de 1998. La hausse s'est produite tant dans la catégories des porteurs que dans celle des tracteurs. Lloyd Triestino lance son propre service sur la Chine Ainsi que brièvement évoqué dans notre édition précédente, l'armement Lloyd Triestino, filiale à part entière d'Evergreen, lancera au début du mois d'août un service régulier hebdomadaire intégralement containérisé entre l'Europe et la Chine, ceci avec une flotte de dix porte-containers de 2.700 à 3.000 TEU. En fait, il s'agit d'une mutation du service AME (Asie-Méditerranée-Europe) qu'exploite Evergreen avec une flotte de huit PC de type G (3.000 TEU) et un PC de type L (2.700 TEU). Zeebrugge: le terminal de StoraEnso sera partiellement opérationnel en novembre Dans le courant du mois de novembre prochain, un premier navire aligné par l'armement Cobelfret dans son nouveau service roulier de et vers Göteborg, fera escale au terminal du groupe forestier StoraEnso dans l'avant-port de Zeebrugge, plus précisément au ponton installé à cet effet dans la darse des Wielingen. L'aménagement de ce terminal, axé sur le stockage et la distribution en Europe et vers l'outre-mer de ces produits forestiers, se poursuit à une vive allure, comme ont pu le constater les membres du Maritieme Kring Antwerpen lors d'une visite du port côtier.
