From 1 August to 30 September the South China terminal run by Hutchison Ports is increasing daily in-gate quotas to 13,000 boxes for export containers.

In the first seven months of this year YICT said lines had added 14 new weekly calls at the port including America, Europe, Intra-Asia, and Australia services. 

On 18 July the terminal handled six 400-metre-long vessels simultaneously, something it expects to become a norm.
