The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MOMAF) revealed Busan handling container volumes to be 880 thousand TEU, rising 10% over the same period last year.
This figure led total volumes in Busan to 8.56 million TEU up to October.
In the mean time, the China Transport Ministry revealed in its homepage that Shanghai handled 1.02 TEU in October and Shenzen 1.1 million TEU, breaking the monthly top record. Shanghai accumulated 9.23 million TEU up to October and Shenzen totaled 8.73 million TEU.
Shanghai and Shenzen outstripped Busan in accumulated volumes in July and October, marking themselves as the third and fourth largest in container volumes following Hong kong and Singapore.
An insider from MOMAF said that Shenzen is growing
tremendously,absorbing Hong kong cargoes as well. It would be difficult for Busan to surpass Shanghai and Shenzen again, he said.
