Port accessEnd-of-year figures for total traffic stand at of 31.2 million tonnes (+5.5%), up 1.6 million tonnes on 2020 figures. Contributory factors to this include the general recovery of goods during the second half of the year, and especially in the last quarter; an 18% increase in dry cargo, with growth of one million tonnes in both bulk solids and general cargo; and the increase in the number of vessels entering the port.
The Port Authority is confident that this trend will continue in the current financial year and that 2023 will see a return to 2019 levels of traffic.
