Rotterdam: biofuels products down
The Port of Rotterdam figures for 2009 show there was a substantial decline in the handling of soyabean oil, sunflower oil and rapeseed oil.
Biofuels (biodiesel, ethanol and ETBE) were also down. The moderate sugar harvest put pressure on Brazilian exports of ethanol. This was compensated for partly by imports of ethanol from Spain and France via Rotterdam.
Imports of biodiesel fell due to the European measures taken against the US B99 mix. This made way for the import of more biodiesel from Argentina, however.
