Eurogate growth

This is an increase of 7.3% over the previous year. The growth drivers in 2013 were the Italian Mediterranean terminals with over 11%, especially the transhipment terminals Gioia Tauro (+ 13%) and Cagliari (+ 12%). The two Atlantic terminals in Tangier (+ 84%), which for the first time handled over one million TEU, and in Lisbon (+16%) also recorded an exceptional rise in handling volumes.

The difficult market and industry environment is reflected in the volume trend of the German container terminals. While the Eurogate Container Terminal Hamburg gained positive momentum, increasing handling volumes by 8% to just short of 2m TEU, the Bremerhaven location fell short of expectations with a 5% decline compared to the previous year.
