The port also recorded 35.5 million tonnes of cargo handled, recording an 8 per cent growth and a 39 per cent market share among Baltic country ports.
Container cargo handling was recorded at 859,000 tonnes or 9 per cent more than in 2023. Last year, the total amount of handled cargo was just over ten million tonnes. This represents 28 per cent of the port's total cargo handling.
