South China's Guangxi H1 port throughput hits 100m tonnes

South China's Guangxi recorded a 130 per cent growth in port throughput to 107 million tonnes in the first half of the year, Xinhua reports.Its Beibu Gulf ports moved 70.09 million tonnes of cargo with a 131 per cent increase over last year, hitting a record high. Inland river ports handled 37.39 million tonnes, rising 128 per cent year on year.
Although Guangxi enjoyed a surge in throughput, cargo piled up at Beibu Gulf port area and reached more than 10 million tonnes because of a sudden increase in foreign trade and a shortage of rail capacity.
