Tianjin maintains speed
The Port of Tianjin has drawn a positive balance for 2022. The Chinese port, which also services Beijing, passed the threshold of 21 million teu last year, an upswing of 6.9% compared to the median of the last five years and 3.9% above the level in 2021. China Tianjin Port handled about 20.2 million teu of containers in 2021, which was an increase of about 10.1% compared to the pandemic-ridden year 2020.
Nearly 50% of the cargoes handled in Tianjin come from ports in countries and regions along the “Belt and Road”. In local media, the mayor of Tianjin, Zhang Gong, said that he expected container throughput to rise to 21.8 million teu in 2023. It looks like the times of the great accident in 2015 are over and out. (sh)
