Maanshan port sees container throughput jump by 80%

In the first 9 months of this year, the port handled a total of 60,619 TEU and is expected to reach 80,000 TEU for 2011.

The increase is dedicated to one of the major manufacturers of steel products, Maanshan Iron and Steel, as it decided to ship their products by container. At the end of last year the steel producer, which owns 45% of the port, decided to transport its coils and H-shaped products in containers for its domestic trade to Guangzhou.

Shanying Paper, another large local manufacturer, provided a further boost to throughput as production at the mill increased in response to high demand, leading to increased imports of waste paper from the US and Japan.
