Was expecting to see Pireus here also, guess it’s more of a transit port.
Yay Gdańsk in top 10 🙂
Always surprises me how low the UK (an island) is on this list.
Wonder how many tons of cocaine comes in to Rotterdam
If you compare that with the list of the biggest ports in terms of containers the list changes quite a bit. You can deduce which ones are mainly for raw materials.
Very interesting, and surprising that there’s only one Italian port in the top 20. I assume they have a lot of smaller ports, whereas a country like Romania only has one major sea-port.
On dit merci la CGT pour avoir coulé tout nos ports
Hamburg, city famously on the North Sea 😃
It’s on a river (Elbe), the sea is more than 100km away!
Alright, which ones does China not yet own?
Wonder why so many Romanians think that us veto ing them from schengen had anything to do with the ports
Counting Le Havre and Paris as a single port sounds a bit dubious – there’s several hundred kms between them.
Was not expecting Murmansk to be so high up. Is it all oil or ore?
Novorossiysk is within the range in which Ukraine has striking capabilities.
First (and presumably the last?) time I’ve ever seen Immingham listed in any sort of international ranking.
Why would they combine the ports of Antwerp and Bruges? They’re 100km apart.
Aren’t 1 and 2 basically just an extension of German in and exports?
Rotterdam and Antwerp together seem to send and receive more together than the entire rest of the continent
Was expecting more UK ports tbh, them being an island nation. Is it just that they have so many ports and thus the tonnage is more spread out?
Top cocaine spots in Europe.
And how many are bought by the CCP?
Is there a reason for Rotterdam to be on top? Is it because you can reload container to train/truck and sent it forward anywhere in continential europe? And the diatance from US is shorter.
I was expecting one Galician port on the list
Crazy that Novorossisk is 3rd despite Russia being sanctioned and the port being near an active war zone.
POLSKA GUROM
I’m honestly surprised with Constanta because I have no idee where that cargo is going, the only highway connection of Constanta is with Bucharest, I guess it’s going by rail ?
Important to include that this is all forms of cargo, so container, bulk, fishing and ferry. the majority of this is driven by bulk tonnage from LNG and raw materials, oil etc. So this is a table showing mostly just that, the centres of bulk sea transportation. for example Rotterdam had 205mt of liquid bulk and 70mt of dry bulk in 2023
Does it include cocaine?
Looks like Russia really relies very heavily on those harbors! Would be a shame if something were to happen to their infrastructure
Not seeing any Portuguese port in this list is so sad, once we were the door of Europe where every far away cargo would arrive first and then move to the rest of the continent, but currently not even in the top 20
Where are all those Russian ports and how are they so important?
Novorossiysk is not european tho
I wonder why there is Spain, but not Portugal?
Compare it to Ningbo with its 1.2 billion tons…

No wonder the UK gets so many immigrants they have a port for them
We send a lot of kiwi fruit to Tarragona Spain and Bruges Belgium from work here in nz.

Three Turkish ports would be on the list, even though they’re not referred in this chart.
