CMA CGM: les records de 2000 confirment le bien-fondé de la reprise-fusion N’en déplaise à ceux qui dans l’Hexagone ont la critique facile au sujet de la reprise de CGM par CMA et de la fusion de ces deux armements, mais les faits sont là: l’économie française dispose aujourd’hui d’un grand armement de ligne figurant dans le club des dix megacarriers Est-Ouest et Nord-Sud. L’année dernière, tous les records ont été battus: 1,66 million de TEU ont été transportés, soit une hausse de 23,2%, et le chiffre d’affaires a atteint les 13 milliards de FRF, en hausse de 34% (ce qui laisse supposer que le résultat net aura augmenté d’au moins 100%). De plus, toutes les lignes CGM sont devenues rentables.
“Flessingue deviendra le premier véritable concurrent de Rotterdam aux Pays-Bas” “Flessingue est une vraie mutation”, estime le professeur H. Welters de l’Université Erasmus à Rotterdam. L’ancien président de l’Association Maritime Sud (Scheepvaart Vereniging Zuid), l’organisation coupole de groupements portuaires actifs dans le principal port européen, a formulé ce point de vue lors du mini-congrès organisé par le Port Promotion Council Zeeland mercredi après-midi à Flessingue et qui avait comme thème “Les ambitions des ports zélandais”. La réunion était un franc succès avec 240 participants, dont le gouverneur de la reine en Zélande, Van Gelder. Remarquable toutefois était l’absence du président (Mr. Bruinooge) et du directeur (Mr. Philippen) de Zeeland Seaports.
Dunkerque a multiplié ses investissements par trois Traditionnellement, le Port Autonome de Dunkerque (PAD) investissait chaque année 100 mio. de FRF (15,24 mio. d’EUR) en moyenne. L’exercice 2000 avait déjà marqué une forte montée en puissance avec 165 mio. de FRF (25,15 mio. d’EUR), soit +65% par rapport au niveau moyen précédent. Pour 2001, ce sera 316 mio. de FRF (48,17 mio. d’EUR), soit +91% par rapport à 2000. En comparant le niveau moyen avant le redémarrage et celui prévu pour 2001, on constate que le PAD aura ainsi multiplié ses investissements annuels par plus de trois.
