Busan sets box volume record in March
The Busan Port Authority said Friday it handled 1.4 million TEUs in March, the highest one-month total since the port opened.
The previous record was set in May 2010. Volume was 17.1 percent higher than in March 2010.
Throughput for the year is up 13.8 percent to 3.7 million TEUs. The port attributed the high volumes to increased transshipment and economic recovery in China, Russia and the United States.
The port is aiming to handle a record 15 million TEUs in 2011. Busan is the world's fifth-busiest container port.
