  • Le fluvial est toujours défavorisé dans les ports flamands
    “Le grand défi de l’aménagement du Deurganckdok réside dans le maintien de la viabilité du trafic pour un million d’Anversois plutôt que dans la survie de 120 habitations à Doel. Où est le concept logistique devant rendre plus fluide les importations et exportations terrestres de containers? Gérer un port signifie bien plus que d’accorder des terrains en concession sans réfléchir aux conséquences que cela entraîne”.
  • Gand répond déjà à la directive européenne sur les services portuaires
    L’Entreprise portuaire de Gand, la GAB, s’est déjà entièrement repliée sur ses activités de base en tant qu’autorité exerçant un rôle de contrôle et de facilitation, n’intervient pas dans le fonctionnement du marché et ne doit donc pas réellement s’inquiéter de l’application de la directive européenne sur la libéralisation des services portuaires, actuellement en discussion. Le décret portuaire flamand et sa clé de répartition pour le financement de nouvelles infrastructures portuaires suscitent davantage d’inquiétude: Gand pourra, il est vrai, prétendre à une plus grande part du gâteau des subsides, mais devra - lorsque le régime transitoire actuel aura disparu - supporter dans une mesure beaucoup plus large le poids des investissements en question. En ce qui concerne la vision à long terme sur l’Escaut, Gand espère surtout qu’elle se traduira par la création d’un organisme néerlando-flamand pour une gestion commune de la voie navigable en matière d’accessibilité, de gestion nautique et de sécurité. Et le troisième port maritime flamand entend pouvoir profiter dans une mesure comparable aux autres ports du nouvel approfondissement de l’Escaut.
  • Schweitzer n’exclut pas un rapprochement entre Volvo et Nissan Diesel
    Louis Schweitzer, le président du groupe Renault, n’exclut pas que Nissan Diesel joigne ses forces avec tant Renault SA qu’avec Volvo. “Mais pas dans l’immédiat”, a-t-il déclaré. Selon lui, Nissan Diesel est trop petit pour financer seul le développement de nouvelles gammes de camions.
