Europe
2014 TEU volumes carried to and from Europe (including
all countries bordering the Mediterranean) and between European countries
increased by 5.4% to 46.9 million TEU, according to CTS. Imports grew faster
than exports: by 5.7% and 4.5%, respectively, while regional trade (excluding
feeder boxes) was 7.3% higher.
Exports from Europe increased on all routes, except for
Latin America. Trade to North America has certainly benefited from the
depreciation of the Euro against the US dollar, leading to a growth of 9.6%.
Trade to the Middle East/ISC was also substantially higher at 9.1%. Exports to
the Far East, the biggest chunk, were just 1.3% higher.
Containerised imports into Europe were higher, this
particularly due to a high 7.4% rise of Far East imports and a significant
trade increase with the Middle East/ISC. With the lower value of the Euro,
European citizens apparently decided to buy fewer products made in the US,
leading to a drop of 1.2%.

Trades Statistics), reflecting end‐to‐end data; feeder containers
are NOT included in the above statistics, which coverall inter‐continental deepsea routes
and around 85% of the worldwide full container trade.
