The 2023 data reveals that the Netherlands leads Europe in the gross weight of goods transported via deep sea shipping, followed closely by Spain and Belgium. Noteworthy year-over-year variations show a 1.27% increase for the Netherlands and a significant 18.99% rise for Norway. Conversely, some countries like Germany and Romania experienced declines. Over the past five years, steady growth in transport weight can be seen, with eastern European countries like Lithuania and Denmark displaying notable growth rates.
Looking forward, key trends include the potential for increased competition with emerging technologies and international agreements affecting shipping routes. The drive for sustainability may also lead to shifts in shipping volumes across European ports.
