Traffic growth in Dutch ports driven by container sector
In 2017, the total volume of transhipments at Dutch seaports increased by over 1 percent to 595 million tonnes. Last year s growth in maritime traffic was driven by the container sector. Throughput of liquid bulk (e.g. crude oil and petroleum products) decreased by 3 percent. Throughput of dry bulk (coal, iron ore) remained more or less stable. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this based on new figures.
In the period 2011-2016, container handling grew slightly, by 1 percent. Last year, incoming and outgoing container shipments increased substantially by 13 percent; nearly 38 percent of all unloaded containers were in transit to other seaports, the so-called transhipment activity.Posted On:19-Jun-2018
