Cargo trade booms

MAJOR indices of China's large ports mostly pointed to a better performance in April with increasing cargo throughput and exports volume, the Ministry of Transport said yesterday.

China's large sea ports and river ports saw rapid throughput growth in cargo, exported goods volume and containers from January to April.

Passenger throughput via large ports, however, fell 18.5 percent from a year earlier to 295 million in the first four months of the year, the ministry said.

Large ports are classified in China as sea ports with an annual cargo throughput above 15 million tons and above 10 million tons for river ports.
