E. Bruyninckx: "La relance du trafic conventionnel ne doit pas nous faire oublier ses problèmes" "Ce n'est pas parce que nous enregistrons actuellement une reprise considérable des trafics, notamment du conventionnel/breakbulk, qu'il faille pour autant considérer que tous les problèmes qui s'y rapportent sont résolus. Nous devons poursuivre l'exercice qui consiste à revoir tous les éléments qui gravitent autour de la marchandise et ce à la lumière de la forte concurrence". C'est ce qu'a déclaré mardi dernier à la tribune du Propeller Club Anvers, Eddy Bruyninckx, administrateur délégué de l'Entreprise portuaire autonome anversoise. En d'autres mots, le projet "Port 21" reste d'une brûlante actualité, de même que la tenue de cette table ronde annoncée par l'échevin du port Delwaide qui interviendra très prochainement.
Kühne & Nagel a augmenté ses bénéfices de 15,6% en 1999 Le groupe suisse de transport et logistique Kühne & Nagel a présenté mercredi ses résultats financiers pour 1999. Pour la huitième année consécutive, les bénéfices nets sont en hausse, passant de 82,3 à 95,2 mio. de CHF. Le chiffre d'affaires est demeuré inchangé à 6,36 mia. de CHF, entre autres à cause du désinvestissement dans les opérations terrestres en Allemagne et en Europe, et leur transfert vers une joint-venture avec Gefco. KN a par ailleurs annoncé qu'il va procéder à une augmentation de capital d'un montant de 20 mio. de CHF (ce qui équivaut à 20% du capital existant).
Anvers doit se mettre à l'heure de l'Internet La révolution Internet aura un impact énorme sur le monde du transport et modifiera incontestablement les rapports entre les entreprises et leurs clients. Ceux qui ratent le train auront beaucoup de mal à refaire leur retard. C'est pourquoi il est essentiel qu'un port comme Anvers préserve son avantage technologique au niveau des systèmes d'information et de communication et réponde aux nouvelles évolutions générées par l'Internet. Voilà en gros, le message lancé par Christian Leysen, le patron d'Ahlers, aux membres de l'ESPA lors de l'assemblée annuelle de l'association des journalistes maritimes, qui était organisée dans les bâtiments d'Ahlers à Anvers.
