Unloading activities accounted for nearly 82.1 p.c. of the 24.0 milliontonnes transhipped. Bulk recorded a sharp rise, attributable to the good results in grain shipments (+ 647 kt), oilproducts (+ 21.7 p.c.) and iron ore (+ 32.6 p.c.). On the other hand, general cargo traffic fell sharply, as did that ofmetal-working industry products (- 52.3 p.c.).For those interested additional information on cargo traffic at the port of Ghent in 2002 is presented in table 67 ofannex 8, by categories of goods.NBB WORKING PAPER No. 56 - JUNE 2004 43
