Cumulative container activity at the Port of Beirut fell by 4.73% year-over-year (YoY) to 111,023 TEU by February 2025. Cumulative container activity, referring to cargo loaded onto or unloaded from ships at the port; saw an increase of 9.53% YoY to 84,794 TEU. However, cumulative transshipment activity, which involves cargo transferred from one ship to another at an intermediate port, decreased by 32.94% YoY to 26,229 TEU. This decrease may be driven by the end of seasonal trends which caused a monthly variation compared to the slight increase in January 2025.
It is worth noting that total activity decreased by 18.28% month-over-month (MoM) to 46,390 TEU, mostly driven by transshipment activity from the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC).
