The Dutch port of Rotterdam has also passed the worst of the crisis. Container throughput rose to 15.3 million teu, while total throughput was 7.3% higher than in 2020, amounting to 468.7 million t. This corresponds to the pre-crisis level of 2019.
While dry bulk cargo volumes in 2021 were 23.4% higher than in 2020 and 5.6% higher than in 2019, liquid cargo throughput in 2021 was 6.6% higher than in 2020, but 3.1% lower than in 2019.
An increase in revenue and lower costs achieved an operating result before interest, depreciation and taxes of EUR 512.2 million (2020: EUR 477.5 million). Revenues rose by 2.6% compared to 2020 to EUR 772.7 million, while operating expenses fell by 5.5% to EUR 260.5 million. (sh)
