January 27, 2015
In last the 20 years the German ports have recorded a doubling of the enlivened volumes of traffic that they are gone up by 151,4 million tons in 1991 to the 297,6 million one tons in 2013. However it has not been a linear increase. From 2009, in fact, the crisis economic-financial institution has left a deep trace: in the 2008 traffic of the goods enlivened from the ports of Germany it has reached its apex of 320,6 million tons in order to come down the next year to 262,9 million tons. From 2010 at first a fast recovery of the traffic has happened that has remained stable in the next years than little less 300 million tons. It in the long term evidences an analysis on the marine traffic and the ports published yesterday from the statistical office of Amburgo and the Schleswig-Holstein that specifies as this trend has characterized the situated ports of northern Germany in the Lander of Bremen, Front Amburgo, Meclemburgo-Pomerania, Lowland Sassonia and Schleswig-Holstein, than together enlivens almost the totality of the marine traffic of Germany and that in the 2008 they have moved a traffic of 317,9 million tons.
The publication emphasizes as the pulling ahead element of this increase has been mainly the increase of the volumes enlivened from the two ports container of Amburgo and Bremerhaven, in which the traffic it is increased respective by 60,3 million and 28,1 million tons in 1991 to 120,6 million and 67,1 million the tons in 2013. The crisis of 2008-2009 has had obviously a remarkable impact also on the single containerized trade: until the 2007 port of Amburgo it has recorded every year high rates of growth of the traffic of the container that is gone up that year until the record of 9,9 million teu in order then coming down to seven million teu in 2009 and returning to grow in order to reach the 9,3 million one teu in 2013; in the port of Bremen-Bremerhaven the rates of growth before-crisis more are contained and in the 2008 port it has reached an enlivened volume pairs to beyond 5,5 million teu that 2011 with the 5,9 million one teu and reaching in a 2012 total record are come down to 4,6 million teu in the next year in order then returning to grow meaningfully in than more 6,1 million teu, traffic volume that is light come down in 2013 to 5,8 million teu.
Commenting the results of the analysis, the senator to the Economy, job and port of Bremen, Martin Günthner, it has found as these data signal among other things that world-wide economic events as the crisis of 2009, that has had an impact long-lasting negative on statistics of the traffics, demonstrate that harbour politics must have along breath and cannot be influenced from fluctuations in the short term, and this - it has emphasized - is a sufficient reason in order to continue to pursue the development of the ports of Bremen.
