The Dutch port of Zeeland has recorded traffic volumes that effectively put it back to pre-crisis levels of 2008, according to media reports.
According to port authorities, throughput for 2010 is expected to come in at 33 million tonnes, a 15% increase on 2009.
Imports grew from 21 million tonnes to 25 million tonnes, and exports from 7.6 million tonnes to 7.9 million tonnes respectively in a year-on-year comparison.
The port authority, Zeeland Seaports, is due to be privatised on January 1, 2011.
The authority recorded revenues of $60.5m for the 2010 financial year.
In a statement to the media, Zeeland Seaports Managing Director Hans van der Hart said: “With the pending privatisation of Zeeland Seaports and with all the plans we and the companies in the port have, we will be entering 2011 full of confidence and we should, at all events, be able to achieve the same results as those for 2010.”
