Rotterdam is Austria’s main port for the 11th time

In 2008, Rotterdam was Austria’s most important seaport for the tenth consecutive time, with a throughput of 4.8 million tonnes. This was 6% less than the previous year and represented a market share of almost 27% (*) This was revealed in the “Seehafenbilanz” for 2008, which the Austrian trade magazine for the logistics sector “Verkehr” draws up every year. The port of Koper (Slovenia) remained second, with 4.3 million tonnes. Almost 4 million tonnes of cargo, 5% less than in 2007, were shipped eastwards from Rotterdam. Austrian exports via Rotterdam were 10% down, to nearly 1 million tonnes.
