Rotterdam is Europe’s largest port in terms of throughput volume. It was the world’s largest port for more than 40 years, overtaken by Singapore in 2003. Rotterdam is one of the gateways to Europe playing an important role as point of transshipment in intercontinental logistic chains. It dominates the European port world, handling nearly as much tonnage as Antwerp, Hamburg and Marseille alltogether (the next three largest ports). The composition of Rotterdam’s cargo is heavily weighted towards liquid and dry bulk goods, such as oil, iron ore, grains, minerals and chemicals associated with the manufacturing sector of Mainland Europe. The position of Rotterdam as container transhipment port is less strong. Rotterdam is still the major container port in Europe, but ports such as Hamburg and Antwerp are growing relatively faster than Rotterdam at this moment.
