Antwerp stays positive despite drop
After seven record years in a row the port of Antwerp experienced a 17% drop in freight volumes last year due to the economic recession, handling 157.8m tonnes of freight.
Despite the recession, however, the year brought several positive developments, says the port.
One of these was the new Scheldt navigation regulations, enabling the largest container carriers to reach Antwerp more quickly and easily.
