This year’s later Chinese New Year has been mooted as the reason for a boost in throughput at Hong Kong Port, where 1.81m teu were handled – an increase of 9% over the 1.66m teu in January 2017.
The main Kwai Tsing terminals saw throughput increase 5.9% to 1.41m teu as the mid-streaming operations surged 22.9% to 400,000 teu.

Hong Kong-listed China Cosco Ports saw a 15% rise in throughput across its portfolio of facilities in January. Collectively they handled 7.83m teu during the month under review compared with 6.81m teu a year earlier.
On the Chinese mainland the Bohai Rim region oversaw growth of 16% to 1.38m teu as the Pearl River Delta ports clocked up an increase of 10% to 2.36m teu.
