The gloomy shipping market conditions have dragged down the container throughput of Taiwan's port of Kaohsiung by 20 per cent year on year during the period from January to April, said Kaohsiung Harbour Bureau director general Shieh Ming-hui.
Kaohsiung is not only the only sufferer of the economic downturn, said Mr Shieh, quoted by the report of Logistics Week, box volume of ports across the global has also dropped 20 to 40 per cent.
Mr Shieh said every port in the world is deeply concerned in how to find a breakthrough in the sinking market, especially how to achieve balance between expansion and staying green.
