Port of Rotterdam has seen a decrease in its container throughput during the first half of the year, handling 6.7 million TEUs, which translates to an 8.1% decline over the same period in 2022.
At the same time, Rotterdam’s box throughput fell by 9.3% in terms of tonnes reaching 64.4 million tonnes in the first six months of 2023.
Port of Rotterdam Authority believes the termination of volumes to and from Russia and the fall in imports from Asia are the main reasons for the container decline.
