Antwerp 2020 Throughput
Antwerp 2020 Throughput
Port of Antwerp repoted that the total throughput in 2020 amounted to 231 million metric tonnes of cargo, a fall of 3.1% compared with the previous year. Thanks to the buoyant container throughput rates, which set a new record, the port was able to limit the overall decline in throughput. Compared with most other ports in the Hamburg-Le Havre range, the port held up very well despite a year dominated by coronavirus and other trade tensions.
Container throughput reached the 12 million TEU mark for the first time in 2020, equating to growth of 1.3% compared with 2019.
Toral throughput for the year was 230.8 milioon tonnes, including 139 million tonnes of containerised goods.
