Rotterdam’s Q1 Breakbulk volume up by 9.2%

The Port of Rotterdam has posted Q1 figures for 2019 with the total volume in the breakbulk segment increasing by 9.2% to 7.9 million tonnes.

RoRo traffic was up by 10.7% to 6.4 million tonnes compared with the first quarter of last year.  Volumes increased particularly significantly in March, with the stockpiling of supplies in connection with a possible hard Brexit. Throughput of other breakbulk rose by 3.1% to 1.5 tonnes.
