The port of Antwerp set a record for 2013 by handling 190,849,079 tons of freight, a 3.6 percent increase from the previous year, it announced Friday.
The port said liquid bulk, which rose by 31.4 percent to 59,493,776 tons, was the main reason for its higher numbers.
In contrast, TEU container volume fell 0.7 percent to 8,578,269 TEU, which meant a 1.7 percent drop in tonnage.
