At 70.2 million tons, in the first half total seaborne cargo throughput, which includes the general and bulk cargo segments, was slightly – 0.9 percent – down on the previous year. In the first six months of 2016 containerized cargo handling totalled 4.5 million TEU – 20-ft standard containers – corresponding to a downturn of 1.2 percent. This positive trend is also demonstrated by a comparison of the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, which reveals growth of 0.7 percent.
