Container volume of major Chinese ports declined again last week

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.
