Container activity at the Port of Beirut rose by 24.23% annually to 944,242 TEU in 2025. Transshipment activity, which involves cargo transferred from one ship to another at an intermediate port, increased by 21.85% to 244,854 TEU during the same period. Similarly, container activity, referring to cargo loaded onto or unloaded from ships at the port, rose by 25.08% to 699,388 TEU.

The rebound in Beirut Port’s activity in 2025 was mainly driven by relative de‑escalation after the November 2024 ceasefire, which reduced immediate security risks and lowered war‑risk insurance premiums throughout the year.
