Port-rail traffic continues to be on the rise and is becoming more prominent year by year. Throughout 2018, 2 million tonnes entered or departed the Port facilities by rail. 19% of general cargo uses this mode of transport while the figures rises to 20% for container traffic.
There were 4,987 trains in all – 10.5% up on the previous year.
