While ship handling reached the previous year's level, rail handling increased by 14% and truck handling by 7%.

The increase in throughput was driven by the general cargo segment, particularly combined transport. "We expect moderate growth in the second half of the year, as a good level of throughput was already achieved in the same period of the previous year," says Erich Staake, duisport's CEO. red/cd
