Following on from 2013, when the Port of Calais regained its best traffic levels of the past despite the global economic slowdown, in 2014 the significant upswing in business for the Port of Calais was confirmed, and it beat its previous cargo traffic record.
2014, a record year
Overall freight traffic figures for the Port of Calais in 2014 indicate more than 43 million tonnes transported (43,273,341 tonnes), representing an increase of 5% compared with 2013, the port’s best-ever year for freight traffic.
