Shanghai box throughput improves in March
Shanghai: Shanghai, the world's largest container port, moved higher throughput in March both year-on-year and month-on-month, according to figures from Shanghai International Port (Group) (SIPG).

The Chinese port handled 2.88m teu last month, an improvement of 5.3% compared to 2.73m teu recorded in the same month of the previous year.

Month-on-month, throughput at Shanghai port jumped 43% compared to 2.01m teu in February – a slower month due to the Chinese New Year holidays and shorter number of working days.

In the first quarter of this year, Shanghai port registered box volumes of 7.8m teu, an increase from 7.54m teu recorded in the same period of 2012.
