At present, average waiting times for the handling of our barges in the seaports are:

Antwerp            25 hours

Rotterdam        18 hours

Yesterday, four years after commencing operations, the French Contargo terminal in the Escaut-Valenciennes Region passed the mark of 100,000 handlings per year. We congratulate our French colleagues, and wish them continued success in future.

For the first time since mid-July, the Kaub Gauge level has risen above 1.50m.
