The Port of Antwerp handled 98,229,046 tonnes of freight in the first half of the year, an increase of 2.7 per cent year on year on the back of higher container volumes and a 32 per cent increase in liquid bulk volumes.
The box throughput was up 2.9 per cent to 4,416,132 TEU compared to the same period a year earlier, PortNews St Petersburg reported.
Conventional breakbulk volumes fell six per cent to 5,028,876 tonnes, mainly due to the proportion of fruit imports now arriving in reefer containers instead of by conventional freight.
The dry bulk amounted to 6,870,625 tonnes, a decline of five per cent squeezed by lower coal volumes.
