![]() The seven largest cargo ports in the EU remained the same in 2022 compared with 2021 In tonnage terms, Italy (90 million tonnes) recorded the largest EU volumes of goods transported on Ro-Ro mobile units in 2022. The share of Ro-Ro mobile units in the total tonnage of goods was the highest for Ireland (31.6 %) and Denmark (28.8 %), reflecting the importance of Ro-Ro ferry traffic in the seaborne transport of these countries. The two top container countries were followed by Germany and Belgium with 111 and 109 million tonnes of containerised, respectively. ![]() The largest volumes of containerised goods, however, were handled in Spanish and Dutch ports, with 152 million tonnes and 113 million tonnes, respectively. That was also the case in the EFTA country Norway (46.0 %) and in the candidate countries Montenegro (69.5 %) and Türkiye (37.9 %).Ĭontainers were the dominant type of cargo handled in Slovenian, German and Belgian ports in 2022, with shares of 40.3 %, 39.8 % and 37.9 %, respectively, of the total cargo passing through the ports of the three countries. Latvia (55.6 %) and Poland (35.0 %) were the other EU Member States where dry bulk goods were predominant. Romania had the highest share of dry bulk goods as a percentage of the total tonnages in 2022 (55.9 %), mainly reflecting large volumes of outward movements of agricultural products from its ports. Even so, the tonnages of dry bulk goods handled in both the Netherlands and Spain in 2022 were lower than the 203 million tonnes reported by Türkiye. With 151 million tonnes in 2022, Dutch ports also handled the largest volumes of dry bulk goods in the EU, followed by Spain with 103 million tonnes. Liquid bulk goods, such as crude oil and oil products, made up a substantial proportion of the inward tonnage.įigure 5: Gross weight of seaborne freight handled in main ports by type of cargo, 2022 Inward movements accounted for 62.2 % of the total tonnes of goods handled in the EU ports (Figure 4). Inward movements of goods to the EU countries increased by 4.7 % to almost than 2.2 billion tonnes in 2022 compared with 2021, whereas outwards movements decreased by 5.0 % to just under 1.4 billion tonnes. ![]() Montenegro, Türkiye and Iceland also reported noticeable increases: +151.9 %, +43.0 % and +21.3 %, respectively. Five other EU Member States registered growths higher than 24 % over the same period, while five additional countries recorded growths higher than 10 %. In contrast, Poland registered the largest relative increase (+102.2 %), followed by Romania (+52.5 %) and Malta (+47.0 %). In contrast, the highest relative falls were observed for Lithuania (-19.0 %) and Estonia (-15.5 %).Īll in all, only six Member States, recorded decreases in port freight activity in the ten-year period between 20. Montenegro also reported a noticeable increase of 57.6 %. Figure 3: Gross weight of seaborne freight handled in all ports, 2012, 20Īmong other countries reporting maritime freight data to Eurostat, the candidate country Türkiye handled 536 million tonnes of goods in 2022, placing this country between the Netherlands and Spain in terms of total tonnage of seaborne goods handled.Ĭompared with 2021, 15 out of 22 EU Member States registered a growth in port freight activity in 2022.
