In 2024, the Netherlands leads European total carrying capacity of self-propelled vessels under 999 tonnes with 720 thousand metric tons, though it experienced a 4% decline in 2023. France follows with 221 thousand metric tons, contracting by 2.04%. Poland saw growth, rising by 2.12% to 42.52 thousand metric tons. Finland holds steady with 13 thousand metric tons, showing no change. Bulgaria and Croatia are both under 5 thousand metric tons, with Bulgaria growing by 3.22%. Lithuania, at 1.6 thousand metric tons, declined sharply by 15.44%.
Looking ahead, watch for:
- Potential recovery for Lithuania, potentially reversing 2023's decline.
- Continued strength in Poland's moderate growth.
- France's capacity stabilization after some contraction.
- The impact of trade policies, technology advancements, and environmental regulations across European countries.
