(table 7). This figure reaches 25.5 p.c. and 3.3 p.c. as an annual average if indirect VA isincluded. The rise in total VA is <strong>the</strong>refore due both to <strong>the</strong> companies in <strong>the</strong> sample and to subcontractingoperations, in very similar proportions. The largest increase in total VA (direct, including allocation, and indirect)was recorded in 1997 with growth <strong>of</strong> 9.5 p.c. The strongest growth in direct VA (+ 13.7 p.c.) was seen in 2000.The sharpest drop was recorded in 2001 with a fall <strong>of</strong> 3.2 p.c. in direct VA, i.e. 1.2 p.c. in total. A feature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>year <strong>2002</strong> was <strong>the</strong> return to growth in <strong>the</strong> port <strong>of</strong> Antwerp where <strong>the</strong> total VA rose by 4.0 p.c. while direct VA wasup by 3.3 p.c. In <strong>the</strong> same year, direct VA in <strong>the</strong> port <strong>of</strong> Antwerp amounted to 7.0 billion euro and 14.0 billion euroif indirect effects are added.From <strong>the</strong> point <strong>of</strong> view <strong>of</strong> production, <strong>the</strong> ratio <strong>of</strong> indirect VA to direct VA reached a peak in 1999 at 106.6 p.c.,due to <strong>the</strong> growth seen particularly in production by shipping companies, a sector strongly dependent on externallabour. This ratio fell back again in 2000 (drop in production in <strong>the</strong> car manufacturing) and amounted to 99.6 p.c.in <strong>2002</strong>.Changes by cluster in direct effectsThe <strong>maritime</strong> cluster occupies an important position in <strong>the</strong> direct VA at <strong>the</strong> port <strong>of</strong> Antwerp (24.7 p.c. on averageover <strong>the</strong> period 1995 - <strong>2002</strong>). Over this period, <strong>the</strong> sharpest drop was recorded in 1996 with a fall <strong>of</strong> 6.6 p.c. Thenon-<strong>maritime</strong> industry segment represents <strong>the</strong> largest percentage <strong>of</strong> production at <strong>the</strong> port <strong>of</strong> Antwerp (58.5 p.c.);its most significant rise was recorded in 2000 (+ 18.0 p.c.). The VA for this segment improved on average by3.5 p.c. per annum from 1995 to <strong>2002</strong>. The non-<strong>maritime</strong> wholesale trade segment improved by 9.6 p.c. perannum for direct VA and recorded its largest increase in 1999 (+ 26.7 p.c.) and in <strong>2002</strong> (+ 28.9 p.c.). The VA for<strong>the</strong> non-<strong>maritime</strong> logistics services and transport segments rose on average by 7.8 p.c. and 5.6 p.c. per annumrespectively. In <strong>2002</strong>, <strong>the</strong> wholesale trade and transport segments recorded <strong>the</strong>ir greatest improvements withrises in VA <strong>of</strong> 28.9 p.c. and 12.4 p.c. respectively. The reasons for this are touched on below.Changes by sector in direct effectsChemicals (30.9 p.c. on average <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> VA in <strong>the</strong> port) and, to a lesser extent, <strong>the</strong> car manufacturing, o<strong>the</strong>rservices, cargo handling, oil industry and shipping agents and forwarders constitute <strong>the</strong> main part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> VAproduced at <strong>the</strong> port <strong>of</strong> Antwerp (table 7). The most significant rise was recorded in 1997 (+ 8.8 p.c.), a year inwhich chemicals production saw its second strongest growth (+ 10.6 p.c.).The year <strong>2002</strong> was favourable for most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sectors.At <strong>the</strong> port <strong>of</strong> Antwerp, <strong>the</strong> major changes recorded in <strong>2002</strong> for <strong>the</strong> direct VA in <strong>the</strong> main sectors were as follows:• Chemicals gained 1.0 p.c. to reach 2.1 billion euro. In <strong>2002</strong>, this rise was explained in part by <strong>the</strong> increase <strong>of</strong>11 p.c. in production at Degussa, which brought <strong>the</strong> new Oxeno unit into service for dibutene production. Inaddition, BASF opened a new factory on its site for <strong>the</strong> production <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> super absorbent polymer, SAP, anddecided to build a factory to manufacture ABS materials: this was in spite <strong>of</strong> a slight fall in production(- 0.3 p.c. <strong>the</strong> same year); Air Liquide, whose production level remained exactly <strong>the</strong> same as in 2001,announced <strong>the</strong> construction <strong>of</strong> a new wet goods factory on BASF land;42The breakdown <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> indirect effects by sector for <strong>the</strong> period 1995 - 1999 can be found in annex 5 (table 49).NBB WORKING PAPER No. 56 - JUNE 2004 23
