In 2024, container throughput at the Port of Rotterdam grew for the first time in three years, increasing by 2.8%. The main drivers were consumer goods and food, for which demand increased significantly. According to Frank van der Laan, Senior Advisor for Business Intelligence at the Port Authority, this growth could continue, especially after the planned capacity expansions are completed. However, he notes that the port remains affected by geopolitical risks.
