The main Kwai-Tsing terminals did particularly well in December, seeing a 7.7% rise in throughput to 1.55m teu, although the midstream terminals continued their trend of long slow decline with a 2.6% fall in volumes to 410,000 teu.
This could clearly be seen in the trend for the year, with midstream terminals seeing a 8.4% plunge in volume to 5.17m teu for 2013 compared to 5.64m teu the year before.
The Kwai-Tsing terminals had a hard time keeping up with even the flat growth of the year before, posting a 2% fall in volume to 17.12m teu in 2013.
