Throughput in tonnes amounted to 16.6 million, an increase of 450,000 tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>Figures for liquid bulk and dry cargo were up 3% and 2%, respectively, with solid bulk increasing by 14.5% within the category of dry cargo. Containerised cargo was up 1% in terms of TEUs, whilst the volume of ro-ro freight increased by 2% in terms of UTIs (intermodal transport units). Conversely, conventional cargo, mainly steel products, fell by 6.5%.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of types of goods, the biggest increases were in diesel, natural gas, soya beans, cereals, biofuels, minerals, coal and coke, petrol and machinery. Likewise, the 17% increase in fruit and vegetable traffic is what mostly accounts for the 29% increase in reefer containers (refrigerated goods). Figures fell mainly for fuel oil, crude oil, chemicals and steel products.<\/p>\n<p>Throughput of special transport for loading purposes increased by 22%. The number of vessels \/ calls also rose by 5.4%, as did their size, with a growth of 8.5% in GTs (Gross Tonnage, a measure of vessel capacity). In total, 1,361 vessels of all types and sizes called at the port in this six-month period.<\/p>\n<p>The main markets have been the United States, Russia, Brazil, the United Kingdom and Mexico. 40% of traffic through the port of Bilbao is attributable to imports and exports with Atlantic European countries, 19% with North Atlantic America, 8% with South Atlantic America, a further 8% with Atlantic Africa, 6% <\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"one_half column-last bbcol\"><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47841\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47841\" style=\"width: 535px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a class=\"thickbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DJI_0142-535x357.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-47841\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DJI_0142-535x357.jpg\" alt=\"View of ro-ro ships\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DJI_0142-535x357.jpg 535w, https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DJI_0142-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DJI_0142.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47841\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of ro-ro ships<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>with Asia Pacific and a further 6% with Indian Asia.
