Antwerp-Bruges tonnage drops 6%

[ October 24, 2023   //   Chris Lewis ]

The Port of Antwerp-Bruges reported total tonnage of 204.4 million tonnes for the first nine months of 2023, a drop of 6% compared to the same period last year and a near identical performance to its rival Rotterdam, which reported yesterday (23 October). Antwerp-Bruges said the still unstable geopolitical and economic conditions were affecting demand for containers while the picture is still mixed for other cargo flows. However, it added that its share of the Hamburg/Le Havre range container market is still growing.
