August 21, 2015
The managing director of the Duisburger Hafen, Erich Staake, has announced that in the first semester of this year the port of Duisburg, that is the main fluvial port of call of the European continent, has enlivened a traffic of the container pairs to 1,8 million teu, with an increment of +10% regarding 1,6 million teu in the first half of 2014.
"Naturally - it has found Staake - strikes in the field of the rail shipment and the remarkable weakening of the economic increase of China have had an effect on the traffic to Duisburg. Ciononostante - it has emphasized - the positive development in the segment of the container demonstrates that with an integrated conception of transport and logistics increase can be generated, also when there is a stagnation of the traffic in the marine ports. This is the reason for which in the 2015 we intend to continue to increase our market share as we have made in the past few years". Staake has specified that for entire 2015 an increase of the +6-7% of the containerized trade enlivened from the port of Duisburg is attended.
