Port of Amsterdam continues to see strong growth in first months of 2007
13 April 2007
The final figures show that 2006 was the Amsterdam Port Area's best-performing year. The Amsterdam Port Area consists of the Ports of Amsterdam, Zaanstad, Beverwijk and IJmuiden. The total amount of cargo handled by these ports grew from 74.5 million metric tons in 2005 to 84.4 million metric tons in 2006. That is an increase of 12.7 percent in 2006 in comparison to the year before. The Port of Amsterdam alone accounted for the lion's share, namely 61 million metric tons -a rise of 7.2 million tons or 13.4 percent compared to 2005. This can be mainly attributed to the growth in the transshipment of oil products and shipping containers. In the first two months of 2007, the Port of Amsterdam has seen continued expansion of activities.
