Anvers: le rendement économico-social d’un investissement de 40 mia. sera-t-il hypothéqué? Les Anversois pêcheraient-ils par un manque de visions ou celles-ci sont-elles rendues par trop tributaires d’impératifs extérieurs, à moins qu’elles soient limitées dans leur champ au point d’en réduire la portée lors de la concrétisation dans les faits?

Watco investit 1 mia. de BEF dans un centre de transbordement et de tri au port d’Anvers D’ici 2002, le groupe de traitement de déchets Watco va ériger un grand centre de transbordement et de tri pour déchets non dangereux sur une concession de 12 ha le long de la Noorderlaan dans la zone portuaire d’Anvers. Ce projet constitue un investissement d’environ 1 mia. de BEF (24,7 mio. d’EUR), selon la Gazet van Antwerpen. Watco entendrait dans le même temps centraliser le transport de papier recyclé, carton, etc. à Anvers. Actuellement, cela représente 14.000 containers de 40’ sur une base annuelle, mais ce volume pourrait passer à 26.000 unités pour 2005. A terme, ce projet offrirait de l’emploi à 130 personnes.
