In 2023, Germany led European crude oil pipeline freight in unloaded international containers with a volume of 12.15 billion tonne kilometers, though it faced a minor decline of 1.84% from the previous year. Poland followed with 5.57 billion tonne kilometers, experiencing a slight decrease of 1.67%. The Czech Republic and Hungary recorded a reduction of less than 1% each, whereas Romania observed a minimal growth. Lithuania and Switzerland saw more significant contractions, particularly Switzerland at nearly 6%. Overall, this sector showed a modest decrease across most countries, reflecting broader trends in energy consumption and logistics efficiency.
Future trends to monitor include potential shifts in regional energy policies, technological advancements in logistics, and geopolitical factors influencing oil transport routes. Greater emphasis on renewable energy and environmental sustainability might also play a role in shaping the demand for pipeline freight services.
