Port of Antwerp handles more than 10 million TEU for the first time
Just before the end of this year, Port of Antwerp set two records: In 2016, container transhipment volume reached the mark of 10 million TEU for the first time in history. In addition, a total of more than 214 million tonnes of freight were handled, as the company tweeted on Wednesday afternoon.
In 2015 for the first time in its history the port of Antwerp passed the 200 million tonnes mark for the volume of freight handled.

Another million-tonne record was broken in the container handling sector in 2015, with a throughput volume of more than 9.6 million TEU.
