  • Wallenius Wilhelmsen Line s'engage dans le management d'une logistique globale
    "Nous ne voulons pas tout faire par nous mêmes, mais voulons un contrôle total sur la qualité du produit, une efficacité maximale des prestations, c'est cela qui est primordial. Si nous ne trouvons pas cette qualité, alors nous ferons le travail nous mêmes. A titre d'exemple, nous implantons un terminal à Zeebrugge, mais passons un contrat avec le manutentionnaire Sea-Ro Terminal. De même, nous pouvons passer et passons des accords avec des transporteurs pour les dessertes de l'hinterland, qu'il s'agisse du rail, de la route ou du fluvial. Nous recherchons les grandeurs d'échelle et les activités qui existent. Si un mode de transport est plus justifiable et exige des dispositions particulières, comme le rail par exemple, qui en Europe s'impose pour les longues distances, nous pourrions investir dans des wagons. Ce qui est certain, c'est que nous voulons avoir une participation plus importante sur la scène logistique européenne, pour ce qui est de notre secteur". C'est ainsi que Ingar Skaug, président et CEO de Wilhelmsen Lines et CEO du nouvel armement Wallenius Wilhelmsen Lines, a résumé la philosophie qui présidera à l'évolutioin de cette nouvelle entité, philosophie qui est en fait celle que pratique depuis quelques années le partenaire suédois.
