The increase in container handling is mainly due to the new services on offer such as stuffing & stripping – the loading and unloading of containers – and the increase in the export business. The figures show the great performance of the Port of Linz and also confirm the investments planned for the coming years, as mentioned in a Port of Linz press release.
According to the viadonau annual report 2014, the Port of Linz with 12.8 per cent and a volume of about 1.1 Million tonnes is close runner up to the Port of Vienna with 15.9 per cent and about 1.4 Million tonnes. In this ranking the voestalpine port is No. 1 with raw material transports amounting to 37.1 per cent of total volumes amounting to 3.2 million tonnes. In this statistic the Port of Enns registers water handling figures of 700.000 tonnes which amount to 8.2 per cent.
