Receipt and shipment of containers by inland shipping

In 2024, some 32 000 containers were transported by inland shipping on the Rhine to Basel; 27% of them were empty. In the opposite direction, 29 000 containers were shipped; 17% were empty. The relatively high percentage of empty containers can be explained by the different demand for large and small containers depending on the direction of shipping.
