Ennshafen expects growth in water-to-land throughput in 2012
Ennshafen port saw a year-on-year increase of 23 per cent in container throughput in 2011
The Ennshafen port expects a positive development of water-to-land throughput in 2012. The management reckons with a volume increase. "If everything goes well, we can realize a growth in the high single-digit percentage range", said Managing Director Christian Steindl on 10 February at a press conference in Linz.
In the year 2011 the catastrophic nautical conditions at the port of Enns caused a decrease of eight percent in water-to-land throughput to 608,082 tons compared to last year. However, compared to the record year for total turnover (2008), this value meant an increase of 13 percent.
In the reporting period 277,023 TEU passed the Container Terminal in the port of Enns, 23 per cent more than in 2010. "The growth in comparison to 2008 is 45 per cent," said Christian Steindl. In 2012 he wants to attract more shipping companies as warehouse clients. Currently there are agreements with twelve shipping companies and the Port of Enns is negotiating with a big interested company. Last year the capacity of the container depots has been expanded by ten percent to just under 6,000 TEU – including 500 TEU for dangerous goods.
