Duisburg, the world’s biggest inland port, boosted container traffic by 13 percent in 2014, outperforming its bigger rivals in the Le Havre-Hamburg range.
The German port Duisburg said it expects to post a 16 percent increase in container traffic in 2013, which will consolidate its position as the world’s biggest inland box hub.
Duisburg’s container traffic reached an all-time high in 2012 even as total throughput at the world’s largest inland port slumped 12 percent on sharply lower coal and steel shipments.
