January Port Transport increased 30% in the first half of the year is expected to continue

The latest data from Kornhill, a news correspondent for Economic Watch, show that in January 2010, Port transport production was off to a flying start, with some major production targets growing sharply. January, the national scale above the port (hereinafter referred to as port) cargo throughput completed 637 million tons, an increase of 32.9%.　　Analysts expect a year-on-year increase in port production to continue in the first half of the year. Data show that in January, more than half of the million tons of dagang throughput growth of more than 30%, especially in the top two cargo throughput of Zhoushan-Ningbo port, Shanghai port, the increase of 50.5%, 45%, the total contribution to the larger. Tangshan, Rizhao, Yantai, Xiamen, Suzhou, Huzhou, Nanjing and other ports continue to maintain high-speed growth.　　Benefited from the coal, container demand rebound, Qinhuangdao port, Shenzhen Port also began to continue to grow, the growth rate significantly accelerated.　　It is noteworthy that the southern port cargo throughput growth began to surpass the north, becoming the new bright spot this month. According to the Ministry of Communications, the January port cargo throughput increased by more than 30%, in addition to rising demand, the low base last year is one of the main factors.　　At the same time last spring festival also in January, the long holiday during the relative decrease in volume, worse, domestic water transport suffered the most serious decline in the past ten years. It is understood that last January, the port cargo throughput, foreign trade cargo throughput, container throughput growth of 5.9%, 14.5% and 14% respectively.　　This year, the port demand is on the rise of the channel, positive and negative to widen the gap, the growth rate greatly expanded.　　At the same time, the increase in port production in the first half of this year may be a continuation, although the increase may not be as big as January, but about 20% growth is likely to be the norm, the source said. "Therefore, in the future in the observation of water transport economy, the year-on-year figures are easy to produce to the port transport production amplification effect, should pay more attention to the chain data, to determine the development of port transport production."
