In the first three quarters of 2018, total throughput in the Port of Rotterdam was 0.4% less than in the same period the previous year. However, container volumes continued to grow at a higher pace than the first nine months of 2017.
On the other hand, wet and dry bulk declined in volume, despite the fact that LNG and biomass were two positive outliers within these product segments.
Overall, 350 million tonnes of cargo were handled, a decrease of 1.5 million tonnes compared to last year.
