Many of the other types of goods - it has explained - are enlivened in quantitative analogous to those last year. Since the hydrocarbons represent approximately the half of the total traffic - it has found Castelein - the port have obtained a good rate of growth. Usually the bulk sand banks is a enough stable field, but currently agricultural bulk and iron mineral handling turns out a little undertone. In the field of the container the increase opportunities are currently still limited because the new terminals - it has emphasized referring to the areas of the new harbour zone Maasvlakte 2 - do not operate still at full speed".
