Le constructeur automobile suédois Volvo enverra chaque
semaine des centaines de voitures produites dans son usine chinoise de Daqing,
par train, vers le port de Zeebrugge, en Flandre occidentale. Cette liaison a
été inaugurée samedi en Chine, en présence du ministre de l’Economie Kris
Peeters (CD&V). Pour le port de Zeebrugge, ce projet est avant tout
important d’un point de vue symbolique, précisait son patron Joachim Coens.
Le ministre fédéral Kris Peeters était présent samedi en
Chine, au départ du premier train reliant Daqing à Zeebrugge. Il l’a fait
savoir au monde via Facebook.
Selon Joachim Coens, patron du port west-flandrien, le
premier train en provenance de la Chine est attendu fin juin à Zeebrugge.
"Dans un premier temps, on compte sur trois trains d'environ 120 voitures
chacun, par semaine", précise-t-il.
Ces nouvelles voitures, du modèle S90, seront transportées
par containers. Le port de Zeebrugge est encore à la recherche de chargement à
entreposer dans les trains pour leur voyage retour vers la Chine.
Le voyage en train devrait durer une vingtaine de jours,
voire un peu plus pour les premiers d'entre-eux, estime Coens. Les véhicules
seront dispatchés dans toute la Belgique depuis Zeebrugge.
