Ghent Port Day: 'New record this year for sure' (+ photos)

Ghent already set a new record last year with 29.1 million tonnes of maritime transhipment. In the first half year, the port continued this growth line strongly with a plus of no less than 18% compared to last year. This trend also continues in the past few months. At this rate, this year Ghent will almost effortlessly break through the 30 million tonnes limit for seaborne traffic.
