Rhenus Alpina Switzerland scores
Despite Covid-19 restrictions, 2021 was a successful year for Rhenus Alpina’s Swiss activities. While revenues rose by 16%, amounting to CHF 476 million (2020: CHF 410 million), average capacity utilisation amounted to 90%.
In the air cargo division, freight volumes soared and reached pre-pandemic levels in Q4/2021. In the port logistics division, an upturn in the waste disposal and recycling business stood against the water conditions of the Rhine, with high water levels in the spring and summer and low water levels from October onwards.
In Contargo’s intermodal business, railfreight experienced above-average volume growth in 2021, and was expanded between Basel and Rotterdam. The financial year therefore ended with a satisfying record result.
With its 1,440 employees in Switzerland, the company said that "it is optimistic about the future, despite challenges such as supply bottlenecks and the ongoing war in Ukraine." (sh)
