    Les résultats du premier semestre se traduisent pour le port d'Anvers par un record absolu avec 63,47 mio. de t, soit une progression de 14,1%. Le container est toujours fortement à la hausse avec 22 mio. de t (+19%) ou 1.998.845 TEU (+18,4%). Il est intéressant de souligner que les diverses avec 34,28 mio. de t enregistrent également une progression spectaculaire de 18,5% et que dans ce contexte le conventionnel/breakbulk avec 9,34 mio. de t affichait une augmentation de 23,3%. Si ce niveau de progression devait se maintenir au cours du deuxième semestre, le port scaldien pourrait envisager un score final de l'ordre de 130 mio. de t. Rappelons qu'en 1999 le trafic avait reculé de 119,78 mio. de t à 115, 65 mio. de t.
