SHANGHAI’s daily average container throughput has recovered to 126,000-TEU, which is 95 per cent of pre-Covid lockdowns, reports Beijing’s container-news.
Throughput on June 18 reached a single-day high of 142,500 TEU.
The figures were released by China’s Ministry of Transport (MOT) during a press briefing.
MOT transport service department director-general Cai Tuanjie declared the ministry’s divisions are working with authorities in shanghai and nearby provinces to accelerate work.
Said vice-minister Zhao Chongjiu: ‘It’s expected that in the first half of this year, the national railway, water transport, and postal freight volume will exceed the level of the same period in 2019.
‘The current national transportation network is generally smooth, the national highways and port waterways remain unblocked, and there are no temporarily closed expressway toll stations and service area,’ he said.
