OPINIE - OPINION: Global trade growth sets many port sails bulging

Singapore just announced that after nine months it had already loaded and unloaded 466 million tonnes of cargo, almost 6% more than last year (and as much as Rotterdam in its best year ever). Klaipeda in Lithuania sat at 5% more at the end of September, Helsinki recorded a plus of almost 13%, Hamina/Kotka climbed 8% higher, Long Beach achieved a new container record in September, Barcelona already saw a third more containers coming and going and may finally dream of improving on its decade-old record from 2007… These are just a few examples.
