June 9 we get the first 9 200 TEUs see p

"Double-digit me concern today, evoked by Dominique Perben opening Port 2000." First, only 36 of the goods imported in France transit through French ports. "Then, for a piece of textile sold 10 euros in France, manufacturing represents the euro and the cost of logistics, 2 euro," noted, May 9, Alain Bréau, co-Chair of Transport and logistics of France (TLF), which took a delegation of some 50 business leaders in le Havre.

The Port 2000 effect: portiqueurs and 5,000 job creation agreement

Representing 10 000 companies and 300,000 employees, co-Chair of TLF and P - dg of Mory builds on 5,000 job creation in the next four years with the Port 2000 effect. And to reinforce his optimism, stressed two havrais assets: land availability and the quality of the workforce. But on the other hand point "routes of administrative obstacles that may last up to two years" that impede construction projects. Jean-Pierre Lecomte, President of the autonomous port, the resolution of the conflict in the portiqueurs is a decisive step.

"We conducted an upgrade of the European standards of quality, productivity and prices." The operational start of the France Terminal is consistent with our expectations, with approximately 60 movements of containers at the time. "The effect snowball is underway", commented on. That confirms Christian Paschetta, port handling General P - dg (GMP): "we have 7,000 movements of boxes in April and we now move our services on Port 2000." "June 9, we get the first 9 200 TEUs" (see p. 8).

So far, "Le Havre he turned the page of the social conflicts that are his trademark" asked Alain Bréau. "We are seeing a certain floating in the texts governing the towing." "Gilles Belier, the lawyer in charge of arbitration in this case, should decide before June 18," replied the President of the port. "Can we expect a decrease in the waiting time at terminals entries" asks Daniel Delva, pattern of WISs. "We have had a certain saturation for two years with a few difficult days." "But then again, everything should be back in order", considers President Lecomte.

Pre-and postacheminements: the rail mode problem

On this point, Jean-Louis the Yondre, P - dg Tramar group but also President of the Union of the havrais forwarders, Vice-President of TLF and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the SOGET, evokes happy port computer: "failover Adémar more to AP system to export, May 22 at midnight, should help facilitate the entire port chain", considers.

Finally, the problem of the pre - and terrestrial postacheminements failed to facilitate the discussions of the day on 9 May. "Unquestionably, the rail mode poses problem and much work remains." "It is a challenge and we need to enhance partnerships," said Jean-Pierre Lecomte. For its part, Alain Bréau proved sharper: "The SNCF is responsible for his misfortune." Combined transport has fallen by 30 in four years in France while he grew across Europe. While it represents 29 of the modal in Antwerp, the railway fell under 8 in le Havre. Fortunately, the truck is.
