China’s eight major ports’ container volume declined last week, while the major ports along Yangtze river saw cargo volumes continue to grow.

During the past week cargo throughput of major Chinese coastal hub ports declined 6.6%, and the container volume of eight major ports declined 5%, with a particular drop at ports handling more international cargoes.

The crude oil throughput and ore throughput at major ports increased 5% and 25% respectively for the past week.

The cargo throughput and container volume at the three major ports along Yangtze river, Nanjing, Wuhan and Chongqing, increased 5% and 25.2% respectively. However, due to the slow production resumption status of inland companies, the ports along Yangtze are facing the shortage of cargo sources.
