  • TRW multiplie prudemment les nouvelles initiatives
    Alors que, selon les chiffres de l’UIC, le secteur du transport ferroviaire de marchandises a enregistré l’an dernier une perte de l’ordre de 3%, la société belge TRW est parvenue à “limiter la casse” à -1% (malgré la grève de quatre semaines début 2001 à la SNCF). Pour cette année 2002, elle compte sur une progression de l’ordre de 7%, le premier trimestre ayant même commencé en fanfare avec un gain de 13%. Les problèmes aux tunnels routiers transalpins et - surtout - les nouvelles législations en matière de temps de conduite, etc. ont en effet provoqué un “modal shift” vers le combiné rail/route. Les résultats financiers sont eux tout à fait positifs, puisque l’exercice 2001 s’est terminé sur un résultat d’exploitation de 418.000 EUR et un résultat net de 841.000 EUR. TRW est vraiment bien sorti de l’ornière dans laquelle la société se trouvait encore en 1998. Cette progression viendra de nouvelles initiatives prises à Liège-Bierset, Bettembourg, Lyon et Piacenza. Commande sera passée d’ici peu de 75 wagons, dont la livraison commencera au début de l’an prochain.
  • World Wide Shipping a-t-il des visées sur Bergesen?
    Le groupe World Wide Shipping de Hong-Kong, que dirige adroitement Helmut Sohmen depuis de nombreuses années, vient de créer la surprise dans le monde des transports de vracs en prenant une participation de 10% dans le groupe norvégien Bergesen, ce qui représenterait un investissement de quelque 120 millions d’USD. Le groupe WWS aurait-il entamé là une manœuvre qui, à terme, pourrait lui assurer le contrôle de cet opérateur norvégien? Pour l’instant, il est trop tôt pour confirmer une telle théorie. WWS s’est contenté à dire à la presse britannique que d’autres étapes éventuelles dépendraient des conditions du marché.
  • Devenant partenaire et actionnaire de la nouvelle alliance Geodis et DFDS Transport entrent dans l’alliance elix
    Les groupes français Geodis et danois DSV Transport ont annoncé leur entrée dans le capital du réseau paneuropéen de messagerie et de groupage routier elix European Logistik GmbH. Leurs filiales respectives, Geodis Calberson et DFDS Transport sont devenues les franchisés du réseau pour la France d’une part et pour la Scandinavie, la Grande-Bretagne et l’Irlande de l’autre. Le réseau elix, qui a été créé il y a toute juste deux ans par quinze sociétés du réseau allemand de messagerie rapide et de distribution IDS, devient ainsi la plus grande alliance pan-européenne du secteur. Il y a peu, des sociétés autrichiennes, suisse et espagnole étaient devenues franchisées. Pour l’instant, cette alliance ne concerne que les transports bilatéraux entre ces partenaires et le réseau allemand. Mais force est de constater dans le programme des services que plusieurs partenaires offrent des services multilatéraux. On peut dès lors s’attendre à ce que cette double adhésion provoquera un nouveau bouleversement des alliances en Europe.
