THROUGHPUT at the port of Ambarli continued to decline for the second year running, as Turkey's biggest container port faced significant losses from divergent performances in its various terminals. The port remains a point of entry in the Black Sea through the Mediterranean Sea, and as such the continued sanctions against Russia have hit volumes hard. A 9.3% decrease in throughput means the port dropped below the 3m teu threshold, something that has not happened before -at least not from 2012 onwards, when throughput data first became available.
