01.04.2024
EMDEN. In February, Manfred de Vries, Managing Director of Autoport Emden GmbH, announced that exactly 1,295,009 vehicles were transhipped at the Emden seaport in 2023, which was 182,592 more vehicles than in 2022, representing an increase of 16.4 per cent. “The port of Emden has thus maintained its position as the third-largest car loading port in the western world,” said de Vries, attributing this growth to the increase in exports of nearly 22 per cent. Most of these vehicles went to England (397,827), followed by the US (272,083) and Japan (56,133). A total of 359,503 vehicles were imported from abroad, predominantly from South Africa (126,011), Mexico (104,734) and Portugal (85,318). With 473,826 and 445,634 vehicles respectively, Volkswagen and Audi were the dominant brands. The number of electric and hybrid vehicles transhipped in Emden increased by 25.2 per cent from 364,658 to 456,463 vehicles in 2023.
