据ICIS-MRC网站1月19日莫斯科报道，据《化学周刊》称，与2019年相比，2020年通过比利时安特卫普港运送的化学品数量下降了8.9%，但没有提供全年化学品总量。
安特卫普港表示，2020年，液体散货年总量同比下降4.2%，至6900万吨，原油出货量同比下降60%，原因是炼油活动减少。然而，尽管由于新冠疫情和油价大幅下跌，需求最初有所下降，但石油衍生品的吞吐量恢复了3.4%的增长。化肥发货量也同比下降，但没有给出具体的数量。
该港口去年的总吞吐量为2.308亿吨，与2019年相比下降了3.1%，下降幅度相对较小，主要是因为“浮力集装箱吞吐率”创下了新纪录。2020年集装箱吞吐量首次超过1200万标准箱，总计1.39亿吨，与2019年相比增长1.3%。
安特卫普港首席执行官Jacques Vandermeiren表示，我们在2020年遭遇了一场风暴，但我们没有倒下。该港口甚至还创下了集装箱吞吐量的新纪录。这使我们能够限制其他领域的损失，并提供比其他港口更好的数据。Vandermeiren仍然“确信”正在进行的港口项目，如其Antwerp的二氧化碳减排项目，最近成立的氢联盟，以及新NextGen区的开发，将是“未来10年内主要的转变”。

Chemical shipments fall 8.9% at Port of Antwerp in 2020
Shipments of chemicals through the port of Antwerp, Belgium, declined 8.9% in 2020 compared to 2019, although no full-year chemical volumes total has been made available, said Chemweek.
Annual liquid bulk volumes declined by 4.2% in total year The port’s overall throughput last year totaled 230.8 MMt of cargo, a fall of 3.1% compared with 2019, with the relatively small decline due largely to “buoyant container throughput rates,” which set a new record, it says. Container throughput surpassed the 12 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) mark for the first time ever in 2020, totaling 139 MMt, equating to growth of 1.3% compared with 2019, it says.
"We were caught up in a storm in 2020, but we stayed upright. The port has even set another record in container throughput. This enabled us to limit the damage due to losses in other segments and to present better figures than other ports,” says Jacques Vandermeiren, Port of Antwerp’s CEO. Vandermeiren remains “convinced” that the ports ongoing projects, such as its carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction project Antwerp, a recently formed hydrogen coalition, and the development of the new NextGen District will be “major game changers within the next 10 years."
