Record volumes forecasted at duisport

According to current projections, the duisport Group will handle a total cargo volume of 65m tonnes in 2014, up from 62m tonnes in 2013. The positive results for combined transport in particular have played a crucial role, the company said.

Container handling by ship, rail, and truck is set to grow by 13% to about 3.4m teu (3m teu in 2013), reaching an all-time high.

“In the container sector, we are registering double-digit growth with all traffic carriers. This gratifying development is based to a great degree on the successful investments made in the last few years and the associated handling volumes,” said Erich Staake, CEO of Duisburger Hafen AG.
