China's container throughput has experienced a notable increase, rising 9 per cent year on year (YoY) in the first four months of 2024, according to official statistics. The Ministry of Transport reported that ports across the country handled a total of 104.03 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) during this period.

In terms of cargo throughput, China's ports managed 5.55 billion tonnes from January to April, reflecting a 5.2 per cent rise compared to the same timeframe last year. This growth is indicative of an expansion in foreign trade, Chinese media reports said quoting the ministry.

The data further highlighted a substantial 9.1 per cent increase in foreign trade cargo throughput over the same period in 2023. Additionally, China's overall goods imports and exports saw a 5.7 per cent year on year growth in yuan terms, surpassing the 5 per cent growth recorded in the first quarter.
