Cosco Pacific grows March global volume 6.4pc to 7.85 million TEU
CONTAINER terminal operator Cosco Pacific has posted a 6.4 per cent year-on-year increase in throughput to 7.85 million TEU across all its ports in March.
The top performers were the key Bohai Rim region with a 4.3 per cent rise in throughput to 2.78 million TEU; and a 14.4 per cent spike in the southeast coast ports reflecting 33.6 per cent and 14.7 per cent gains at Xiamen Ocean Gate Container and Quan Zhou Pacific Container terminals, respectively.
Overall performance for the group was also helped by a slowing of the previous fall in volumes, to 0.8 per cent in March in the Yangtze River Delta, down from the 3.8 per cent and 4.9 per cent decreases recorded in January and February.
There was also a turnaround to a 5.4 per cent increase in cargo throughput in the Pearl River Delta, to 1.96 million TEU, reversing persistent declines in the first two months of the year, including a 10 per cent drop in February.
