Of this, the volume of import-export goods decreased slightly while that of domestic ones grew by 4% year-on-year to 284.6 million tonnes, it said, adding the container throughput hit 20.8 million TEUs, increasing by 4% annually and meeting 84% of the yearly plan. Containers of imports constituted over 7.1 million TEUs of the total, posting the highest annual growth of 8%.

In the third quarter of this year, many seaport enterprises recorded profits despite many difficulties due to socio-economic fluctuations.
