Anvers: le transfert de 50.000 containers de MSC vers Hambourg n’est que temporaire La nouvelle n’a en fait rien de surprenant. MSC, le plus grand client du port scaldien, dont le trafic containérisé se situe au niveau de 1,8 mio. de TEU/an, a pris il y a quelque temps déjà la décision de transférer momentanément d’Anvers vers Hambourg un service feeder axé sur les dessertes de la Norvège et du Danemark, ce qui implique également le retour d’une escale à Felixstowe. Ce service représente à Anvers un volume annuel de 50.000 containers (et non 100.000 comme le souligne une certaine presse). La raison de ce transfert réside dans le fait que la Hesse Noord Natie ne disposait plus de capacité suffisante, tant la croissance des trafics est élevée, qui se situe au niveau de 14%. Et n’oublions pas que MSC, insatisfait des prestations de Felixstowe, a transféré sur Anvers un paquet de 200.000 containers/an, ce qui est difficile à assimiler.
