Chongqing container port boosts capacity
A new container terminal in the massive interior Chinese metropolis of Chongqing has opened, according to reports.
The terminal, on the Yangtze River, will increase handling capacity at the city's port from 800,000 TEUs annually to more than 1 million TEUs. It's part of a development project to ultimately increase capacity to 1.6 million TEUs by 2013.
Cargo throughput at Yangtze River ports is expected to grow 30 percent this year, according to Yangtze Business Services, which releases a biannual report on container trade on the river.
