Rotterdam Port's growth limited by capacity

1/4/2007 10:34:38 AM

Europe's biggest port, the port of Rotterdam, says the growth in volumes would be limited in the short term due to capacity constraints. "Only when the larger expansions are completed, such as those of the EMO coal terminal and the Euromax container terminal, it will be possible to grow quicker," said Hans Smits, chief executive of the port. "Some customers have already been disappointed in their demand of transport facility," the port said. The port recorded a growth in cargo volumes of 1.7 percent in 2006.   CargoNewsAsia
