Shanghai throughput up for third straight month
Shanghai Port, the world's busiest container port, saw its container volume rise 7.6 percent in November from a year earlier, the third straight month of gains, data issued by the port's operator showed, reported Reuters.
Container throughput reached 2.82 million TEUs, up from 2.72 million in October. The year-on-year increase for the month compared with a rise of 1.4 percent in October.
Economists polled by Reuters expect annual export growth to slow to nine percent from a rise of 11.6 percent in October, while annual imports growth are seen easing to two percent last month from October's 2.4 percent increase.
