Hong Kong’s 2011 container volume up 3%

   The Port of Hong Kong handled 24.4 million TEUs in 2011, a 3 percent increase from 2010, according to figures released this week by the Hong Kong Marine Department.
   The volume is the second highest in Hong Kong’s history – only the 24.5 million TEUs handled in 2008 beat it – despite Shanghai and Singapore surpassing Hong Kong as the world’s largest container ports in the last few years.
