Godsomsætningen for 2. kvartal 2015

Small increase in construction activity reflected in cargo throughput in the major ports for the second quarter of 2015 Statistics Denmark has published its second quarter cargo turnover figures for major ports for 2015. Growth in construction In a press release from July 30, 2015, the Danish Construction Association has welcomed the fact that they can detect a slight growth in construction. This is supported by the new figures from Statistics Denmark for cargo turnover at major ports. Here, the turnover of stone, sand and gravel is slightly higher than the 2014 level and at the highest level since the turn of the year 2012/2013. The ports of Odense and Aabenraa have made particular progress. Director of Danish Ports, Gitte Lillelund Bech, adds: "An increase in the total cargo turnover for the second quarter of 2015 to 20.8 million tons is positive, and we can be cautiously optimistic that there seems to be a trend towards increased activity in the construction and building sector, as the Danish Construction Association has also announced. Increased construction activity means increased activity in the Danish ports. Of course, we should not forget that despite the positive trend in the building and construction industry, there is still some way to go before freight turnover reaches pre-crisis levels." Facts on freight transport Selvom der kan identificeres en samlet fremgang på 7 procent i 2. kvartal 2015 i forhold til året før, er der tilføjet nye havne, Inter Terminal havnene – Asnæs, Stignæs, Gulf og Ensted havnene – til opgørelsen siden 2. kvartal 2014. Inter Terminal har intensiveret sine forretninger i de gamle kraftværkshavne, som næsten fordobler godsomsætningen inden for mineralske olieprodukter og er medvirkende til den samlede fremgang. Renses Inter Terminal fra, bliver fremgangen til en mindre tilbage gang på 2 procent i godsomsætningen for 2. kvartal 2015 i forhold til 2. kvartal 2014. Godsomsætningen afspejler stadig en faldende tendens inden for kul, der er på sit laveste, så langt tilbage som godsomsætningen for større havne rækker dvs. 2000 i Danmarks Statistik.
