There are a number of other major ports on the Mediterranean and the Baltic with levels of container traffic which would place them in the Top 20 table above, such as Saint Petersburg, Russia, but they are omitted since they are located in countries that do not contribute to the Eurostat statistics from which the table has been produced.
