At the end of the nine-month period, the port saw a total throughput of 353.5 million tons, compared to 350 million tons recorded in the corresponding period a year earlier.
As explained, volume growth was mainly driven by containers, crude oil, LNG and biomass. On the other hand, there was a reduction in the transhipment of coal and mineral oil products.
“In the third quarter, we again saw healthy growth in terms of containers, one of the Port Authority’s strategic spearheads,” Allard Castelein, Port of Rotterdam Authority CEO, said.
