Prodi, Poste-Ferrovie creino nuovo operatore logistica 24 gennaio 2007 alle 13:57 — Fonte: repubblica.it — 0 commenti “Ho chiesto a Ferrovie e Poste di lavorare insieme per realizzare un nuovo grande operatore della logistica”. Ad annunciarlo, intervenendo all’assemblea di Confetra, il presidente del Consiglio, Romano Prodi, che ha incentrato il suo discorso sulla necessità di potenziare il sistema logistico italiano, in particolare quello portuale: “È uno dei settori in cui ci giochiamo il nostro futuro”, ha avvertito il premier. Prodi ha spiegato che l’Italia, “Paese che è meglio piazzato geograficamente”, deve saper sfruttare questa opportunità. E allora, per prima cosa è necessario “integrare i tre grandi porti del sud, Gioia Tauro, Taranto e Cagliari e fare sistema” in modo da farli diventare “un unico grande polo” per raggiungere l’obiettivo “di spostare il traffico dalle strade alle autostrade del mare”. Dobbiamo pensare “ad un uso più razionale e strategico dei porti esistenti”

Le vice-président excécutif de la Fédération chinoise d'Achat et de Logistique Ding Junfa, directeur de recherches, a indiqué que les entreprises étrangères dominaient le marché extérieur du courrier express, du transport et de la logistique pour les manufacturiers étrangers et le secteur de la restauration. "Les entreprises chinoises du secteur auront du mal à s'imposer à court terme", estime-t-il. Le rapport, co-réalisé par la Commission nationale pour le Développement et la Réforme et le ministère du Commerce, indique que près de 98 % des clients de c

Selon http://www.trends.be/ ABX : la fin d'une gabegie Trends.be | 15 décembre 2005 ABX Logistics Worldwide, filiale à 100 % de la SNCB, devrait être bientôt cédée au fonds d'investissement britannique 3i, comme prévu. Si le prix de vente n'est pas encore connu, 3i (1.250 compagnies en portefeuille) fera sans doute une bonne affaire. Constitué sur base de l'ancien service colis des chemins de fer, ABX devient un groupe mondial de transport et de logistique sous l'effet d'une ambitieuse politique d'achat de sociétés menée entre 1998 et 2001 par l'ancien administrateur délégué, Etienne Schouppe. La démarche se révélera un gouffre financier : au total, elle aura coûté près de € 1,3 milliard à la SNCB et aux contribuables. En cause, des sociétés payées trop cher ou non rentables et une dette, alimentée de tous côtés, qui s'emballe. En 2002, le gouvernement arc-en-ciel s'empare de l'affaire : il remercie le CD&V Schouppe et dresse un plan de s

China to begin building Beijing-Shanghai Express Railway this year The Ministry of Railways (MOR) is to begin work on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail link this year, said the Minister of Railways on Wednesday. Construction will be completed in 2010, said Liu Zhijun at the annual national railway work conference. The railway has been approved by the State Council and construction will be launched soon, according to the MOR. The design of a train capable of driving multiple sleepers at 200 kilometers per hour -- and hitting maximum speeds of 300 kms per hour -- will be completed this year and the trains will go into production, according to the MOR. The MOR had planned to begin construction in 2006 and have high-speed trains running by 2010. A report by the China Business Times last week said that work on the railway appears to have been delayed because the original budget underestimated the cost of construction by more than 50 percent. Originally expected to require an investment

Selon http://www.trasportoeuropa.it/ Logistica, nuovo acquisto di Deutsche Bahn? "09 gennaio 2007 @ 15:46:22 CET Alcune indiscrezioni rivelano una trattativa per l'acquisizione della Schnellecke da parte delle Ferrovie tedesche. La società logistica smentisce, mentre DB non commenta. La fonte della rivelazione è l'autorevole edizione tedesca del Financial Time, che cita fonti anonime di entrambe le aziende coinvolte. Secondo il quotidiano finanziario, le trattative sarebbero ancora in una fase embrionale e quindi non è certo che vadano a buon fine. Comunque, ciò dimostra la volontà delle Ferrovie tedesche di crescere ulteriormente nel settore logistico, anche se la società sta vivendo una particolare fase a causa della prevista privatizzazione. Il dibattito su tale operazione coinvolge anche la divisione logistica e le parti sono divise sull'opzione di scorporarla o immettere sul mercato l'intero gruppo. I portavoce di Schnellecke hanno negato la volontà di vendere
