15FEB2019 - NEWS - Container volumes at Port of Rotterdam rose slightly during last year compared to previous year

The Dutch Port of Rotterdam ended 2018 with a total container throughput slightly higher than in 2017, which was a record year for the port. The port’s total throughput volume stood at 469 million tons in 2018, a 0.3% increase compared to 467.4 million tons recorded a year earlier. The strong increase in the container transshipment was a result of a market share gained in the Hamburg-Le Havre range. A key factor in the increase in 2018 was the growth in numbers of transshipment and full import containers.
