Dalian terminals handle 8.06 million TEU, up 382pc over in last 10 years ago
THE container throughput of maritime terminals in northeast China's Dalian surged to 8.06 million TEU in 2012 from 1.67 million TEU posted a decade ago, reports Xinhua.
The city posted an average annual throughput growth of more than 20 million tonnes for 10 years in a row in cargo throughput between 2003 and 2012. Its cargo throughput amounted to 374 million tonnes in 2012, compared to the 126 million tonnes in 2003. This has greatly enhanced its role as an international shipping centre.
Dalian international airport annual passenger throughput increased to 13.34 million people in 2012 from 3.42 million in 2003. Its collective investment on port and shipping construction from 2004 to 2012 reached CNY70 billion (US$11.4 billion), up 1,300 per cent compared to the total investment from 1949 to 2003.
Port functions have rapidly developed while retaining capacity in rail and road construction to enhance rail-sea intermodal and waterway transshipment services.
