Figure 1. Goods loaded and unloaded per quarter in international transport

A total of 198 000 TEU containers were handled this quarter. The 136 400 containers that contained goods had a total of 1.6 million tonnes of goods; 8.4 per cent more than in the last quarter of 2013.

More liquid bulk

The quarter saw 22.9 tonnes of liquid bulk handled, which is 5.8 per cent more than the last quarter of 2013. The largest changes can be seen in Bergen, Karmsund and Kirkenes. Liquid bulk handled in Bergen fell from last year’s level but this drop was more than offset by increases in Karmsund and Kirkenes.

Dry bulk slightly down

On and off-loading of dry bulk, which totalled 19 million tonnes, is 2 per cent less than the last quarter of 2013. Goods through the port of Narvik, mostly ore, fell by 3.8 per cent in the same period. In the port of Grenland, dry bulk handled stayed at about the same level as the year before, while dry bulk handled in Svalbard fell by almost 50 per cent.
