Xiamen's international box transshipments 34,281 TEU plus in '09

Dec 4, 2009 Port

SOUTHEASTERN China's port of Xiamen recorded a volume of 34,281 TEU in its flourishing international container transshipment business.

If such growth can be repeated over the next two months, the port's international box transshipment will exceed 150,000 TEU by the end of the year, Xinhua reported.

In October, the port recorded a volume of 16,573 TEU in import container transshipment and 17,708 TEU in exports.

From January to October, Xiamen's international container transshipments totalled 120,000 TEU, surpassing last year's annual volume of 100,000 TEU.

The growth was said to be a result of Xiamen government's measures to encourage carriers to take the port as their transit port.
