<\/p>\n
CHINA’s ports have handled just under 5.5 billion tonnes of cargo from January through May, a surge of 6.7 per cent compared to the same five months last year,<\/p>\n
according to the Ministry of Transport.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In May, China’s ports handled 1.2 billion tonnes of cargo, a 4.9 per cent jump on the April’s figure of 1.15 billion tonnes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
About 31.8 per cent of the year-to-date’s 5.5 billion tonnes is “foreign trade goods”. That’s 1.75 billion tonnes of port throughput in the months from January through May.<\/p>\n
The volume of foreign trade goods shipped through China’s ports has increased by 2.3 per cent compared to the same period last year. In May itself,<\/p>\n
the volume in weight of foreign trade goods shipped through China’s ports stood at 366.7 million tonnes, which represents a 6.2 per cent growth over April.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Container throughput at China’s ports is markedly up too, both on a year-on-year basis and also on a month-to-month basis. In the five months to the end of May,<\/p>\n
China’s ports handled 104.7 million TEU, which is a 5.2 per cent increase on the same time frame last year. Last month China’s ports handled 22.4 million TEU,<\/p>\n
which is a 2.1 per cent rise on the volumes handled in April.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The port that handled the most foreign goods from January through May is Ningbo Zhoushan with 208.9 million tonnes. That figure represents a fall in the volume of<\/p>\n
foreign goods of minus 1.5 per cent growth on the same period last year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Qingdao is in a far distant second place (170.9 million tonnes but with 6.4 per cent year-on-year growth) and Shanghai is third (165.8 million tonnes; 1.90 per cent growth).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s a different story when the throughput volume is considered in terms of TEU, reports American Shipper.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The port of Shanghai leads the pack with at throughput of 17.8 million TEU handled between January and May this year, which is a 5.2 per cent year-on-year growth.<\/p>\n
That’s followed in a far distant second place by Ningbo Zhoushan with 11.5 million TEU and a 4.1 per cent year-on-year growth. Taking the third spot is<\/p>\n
Shenzhen (10.2 million TEU; 1.8 per cent year-on-year growth). Next up are the ports of Guangzhou (9.0 million TEU; 5.1 per cent) and<\/p>\n
Qingdao (8.5 million TEU; 9.2 per cent year-on-year growth).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the month of May the top five listing is Shanghai (3.8 million TEU); Ningbo Zhoushan (2.6 million TEU); Shenzhen (2.09 million TEU); Guangzhou (1.9 million TEU);<\/p>\n
and Qingdao (1.8 million TEU).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
