Seaports PR reports that Port of Port of Antwerp in Belgium handled 93,822,976 tonnes of freight during the first six months of this year. This represents a drop of 2.1 per cent compared with the same period last year, due mainly to the Belgian Refining Corporation (BRC) suspending its activities.
The container volume expanded slightly during the past half year, demonstrating that the port of Antwerp is able to maintain its position in the difficult economic situation over the past few months.
Ro/ro and dry bulk for their part managed to return good growth figures, of 16.2 per cent and 5.0 per cent respectively. Liquid bulk too has begun to recover in the past month, thanks to BRC restarting.
