5.3.1 Basic scenario<br />

For the basic scenario, the regional port h<strong>and</strong>ling volumes for 2004 are extrapolated with the<br />

help of the overall European rates determined through the forecast of maritime trade. Since<br />

the development in containerized goods will show especially high relative growth rates, ports<br />

with extensive container h<strong>and</strong>ling operations are likely to profit from this trend. Ports that<br />

primarily h<strong>and</strong>le bulk goods, on the other h<strong>and</strong>, are expected to be at a disadvantage. Fig. 39<br />

shows the 20 ports with the highest h<strong>and</strong>ling volumes in the year 2030, according to the<br />

<strong>HWWI</strong> forecast, with their position in 2004 in parentheses.<br />

The winners in this scenario are for the most part ports with high container h<strong>and</strong>ling<br />

volumes, such as Gioia Tauro, the largest British port, Felixstowe, or the Bremen ports. The<br />

three large universal ports in the North Range, Antwerp, Hamburg <strong>and</strong> Rotterdam, however,<br />

will be strengthening their top positions in absolute terms in this scenario. Hamburg, which<br />

ranked behind Antwerp in total h<strong>and</strong>ling volume in 2004 as a result of considerably reduced<br />

liquid bulk cargo h<strong>and</strong>ling, will almost be able to catch up.<br />
