PORT OF ANTWERP HANDLES 7.0 PERCENT MORE COAL IN 2012 Y-Y
 COALspot.com - The port of Antwerp handled 184,134,516 tonnes of freight last year.
This represents a drop of 1.6% compared with 2011, when the volume was 187.2 million tonnes. The figures are slightly better than the provisional results presented at the end of December, showing that the port is managing to stand up well in the current climate affecting the shipping industry and the general economy, according to a note posted on port's website.
The bulk freight volume was down by 1.1%, to 64,382,325 tonnes. Liquid bulk for its part at 45,275,901 tonnes fetched up just slightly short (by 1.6%) of its record level in 2011. Imports and exports of oil derivatives were well up, by 7.2%, ending at 31,988,678 tonnes. The volume of chemicals on the other hand was much less (down 8.2%), totalling 10,211,428 tonnes. Dry bulk remained at the same level as last year (only 0.1% higher), with 19,106,424 tonnes being handled. Considerably more coal was handled in 2012 than in the previous year (up by 7.0% to 5,726,247 tonnes), while fertilisers experienced the opposite development (down 5.3% to 4,214,056 tonnes).
The container freight volume in Antwerp remained at around the same level, with 8,635,169 TEU (down 0.3%). Expressed in tonnes the fall amounted to 1.0%, to 104,060,119 tonnes. The ro/ro volume for its part rose by 13.0%, to 4,797,360 tonnes. The number of cars handled in 2012 came to 1,240,223, an increase of 14.8%.
On the other hand there was a fall in the volume of conventional breakbulk. During the past year 10,894,712 tonnes of freight in this category was loaded and unloaded, 14.2% less than the previous year. This result is mainly due to the contraction in the amount of steel handled (down 19.2% to 6,809,218 tonnes), which in turn reflects the current market conditions. The volume of fruit fell by 3.2% to 1,307,399 tonnes, while paper and cellulose experienced strong growth of 17.4%, finishing at 895,593 tonnes.
The number of calls by seagoing ships amounted to 14,556, a fall of 4.5% in comparison with the previous year. On the other hand the number of calls by ultra-large container carriers of more than 10,000 TEU was up significantly, from 141 in 2011 to 167 in 2012, demonstrating that the port of Antwerp is very definitely reaping the benefits of the deepening of the Scheldt.
The number of jobs worked by dockers last year came to 1,581,019. This represents an increase of 0.4% compared with the previous year.
