Bremen again loses ground on Antwerp and Zeebrugge

Bremenports itself speaks of a “mostly stable throughput” with which the Weser ports are “holding up well in the tough European competition”. Overall transhipment remained at the same level. In the first six months of this year, Bremen and Bremerhaven together loaded or unloaded 36.51 million tonnes. That is only 0.1% less than for the first six months of 2017. The German port duo is thus doing better than Rotterdam (-2.2%), but significantly worse than Antwerp (+6.5%).
