The port of Antwerp handled a freight volume of 51,023,670 tonnes in the first three months of this year, 5.9% more than in the same period last year. The container volume experienced rapid expansion of 8.5%, while liquid bulk for its part continued to show solid growth (up 4.7%).
The Antwerp Port Authority is very satisfied with these figures, but nevertheless guards against over-optimism in view of the continuing turbulence and volatility in the market.
