In August 2024, the Ports of the Western Ligurian Sea System reported handling 4.99 million tonnes of cargo, marking a 2.4% increase compared to the same month in 2023. This growth highlights the ports' ongoing recovery and expanding capacity. The container sector was particularly strong, seeing an impressive surge of 33.7%. This increase suggests a robust demand for containerized goods, likely driven by shifts in global trade patterns and improved logistics. Similarly, the solid bulk sector also posted remarkable gains, with a 49.0% rise, indicating heightened activity in commodities like minerals and agricultural products. In addition to these sectors, other areas such as general cargo showed positive trends, contributing to the overall growth, although specific statistics for those categories were not provided. The strong performance across multiple sectors underscores the Western Ligurian Sea System's critical role in facilitating trade and its ability to adapt to market demands, positioning it as a key player in the regional maritime industry.
