"Vigo, Spain (PortSEurope) May 15, 2017 – Almost a year after Danish shipping giant Maersk decided to relocate its container hub in Spain to Marin port from Vigo, the latter still calculates the impact of the decision.\r\n\r\nIn the first quarter of 2017, the containerised traffic of Vigo declined by 6.7% on the year to 417,000 tonnes from 447,000 tonnes. Another reason for the decline was the loss of container traffic to Portugal's Leixoes port, due to the problems with the slow processing of cargo at the Border Inspection Post (BIP) of Vigo port.\r\n\r\nThe container traffic of Maersk at Vigo port fell to 70,000 tonnes from 140,000 tonnes. On the other hand, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) lifted the container traffic in Vigo to 128,000 tonnes from 88,000 tonnes.\r\n\r\nSource: Faro de Vigo\r\n\r\nCopyright (c) PortSEurope.
