Meanwhile container volume in December fell 11.3% year-on-year to 1.9m teu from 2.1m teu previously.
The impact was felt the hardest in the non-Kwai Tsing terminals where the combination of slowing river trade from the Pearl River Delta and lower volume of mid-stream operations has caused 2012 volume to drop 19.3% to 5.6m teu from 6.9m teu previously and December volume to plunge by nearly a third to 430,000 teu from 619,000 teu previously.
