  • Les Verts plaident pour un tracé alternatif du Rhin d'Acier au Parlement européen

Ce service hebdomadaire est, à la demande de membres de ce groupe, transféré du terminal de l'Europe sur l'Escaut à ce terminal intérieur pour des raisons déjà évoquées dans ces colonnes. EPIC représente un trafic de quelque 70.000 containers/an soit 98.000 TEU.
  • La hausse du brut inquiète les transporteurs routiers
    La décision - inattendue - par l'Irak de refuser de prolonger le programme "oil-for-food"et qui implique l'arrêt de ses exportations de brut, a causé une nouvelle hausse des cours du brut. Ils avoisinnent désormais les 26 USD le baril (+3% par rapport à la semaine passée). Les économistes craignent l'impact de cette hausse sur l'inflation, mais à plus court terme, c'est dans le transport routier que l'inquiétude est la plus grande. La rentabilité étant proche de zéro dans le secteur en Europe, une hausse du prix du diesel propulserait bon nombre d'entreprises dans les chiffres rouges si elle ne peut être répercutée dans les prix de transport.
  • Gottardo Ruffoni et Rondine vont fusionner
