Gothenburg notes strong Q1/2020
The Port of Gothenburg witnessed stable freight volumes in Q1/2020. This came to light in the Swedish port's new freight volume report. Container volumes actually increased by 8% on the export side and even reached 10% in March.
On the import side, a downturn was noted due to a fall in imports from China. Altogether 203,000 teu were lifted in Q1/2020 (188,000 teu in Q1/2019). The handling of energy products increased by 13% to 5.7 million t for the January-March period. The number of new vehicles came in at 67,000 units, the same level as the year before. In contrast, the ro-ro segment reported a 6% decrease with volumes down to 138,000 units (147,000 units in Q1/2019). (mw)
