During the first three quarters, the port of Qinzhou in south China's Guangxi Autonomous Region handled eight million tons, a surge of 50 per cent over the corresponding period a year ago, Xinhua reported.
The increase is said to be a result of the port operator's efforts in enhancing and promoting its service, which has helped it win many new cargo sources. Meanwhile, commencement of operations of two new 70,000-ton berths as well as the city's higher demand for material import and product export, has also spurred the port's throughput.
Qinzhou's throughput is estimated to surpass 11 million tons by the end of this year.
