Moderate development of throughput in Rotterdam

Positive trend in the results makes Port of Rotterdam Authority keen to invest
 
The Port of Rotterdam Authority’s financial position continues to be stable. In 2011 the Dutch port achieved an operating income at about EUR 588 million, which is 7 per cent of EUR 37 million more than in 2010. At the same time operating expenses increased slightly, which is mainly due to some non-recurring items, as the port states in a press release.
 
The sound financial position of the Port of Rotterdam is the basis for the high investment ambitions to be realised. The investment level achieved in 2011 was the highest level achieved in the history of the port; in total about EUR 494 million was invested. For 2012 investments will again amount to about EUR 500 million of which about three quarters will be invested in Maasvlakte 2. Basically the Port of Rotterdam Authority is moderately positive about the developments in 2012 and anticipates an increase in cargo throughput of between 0 and 1 per cent.
