Hong Kong container throughput down 4% in February

But perhaps reflecting the generally lower volumes during the Chinese New Year period in February anyway, the decrease was lower than the 6.1% drop in volumes in January.

Throughput at the main Kwai Tsing terminals fell 3.2% to 1.18m teu while at the non-Kwai Tsing terminals volumes fell by a larger 5.6% to 250,000 teu.

For the year-to-date, volume fell by 5.0% overall to 3.26m teu and saw a 6.3% drop to 2.61m teu for the Kwai Tsing terminals.
