The port of Antwerp handled 199,012,082 tonnes of freight in 2014, a rise of 4.3% compared with the previous year. The new record that was already announced at the end of December is put into sharper focus by these figures. The record growth has been driven by the volume of containers (up 5.9%) and liquid bulk (up 5.6%). Negative performance was turned in by conventional breakbulk (down 2.0%) and dry bulk (down 6.1%).
