In the Netherlands, 40 million tons of goods were transported by rail last year. This is 6.2 per cent less than in 2019. This decrease was entirely due to the decrease in port export and throughput on the Dutch rail by 9.5 and 5.9 per cent respectively. The port import of goods by rail increased slightly, while inland transport remained almost unchanged. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of new figures.
