In August the port of Rotterdam handled 136,000 tonnes – a record month??????
Did they only work one day?
What were they doing in August in previous years – that represents around 1,000 container loads !
Surely the Press Office of Rotterdam have got that wrong and they meant to say 136,000 TEUs?????
