Nell'anno finanziario conclusosi lo scorso 30 giugno il traffico container registrato dalla Sydney Ports Corporation è stato pari a 991.000 teu, con un calo del 2,5% rispetto a 1.016.000 teu del precedente anno. La flessione è stata determinata dalla diminuzione delle importazioni, mentre l'export containerizzato è risultato in crescita del 3,6%. Tale andamento negativo si è accentuato nel quadrimestre luglio-ottobre di quest'anno, nel corso del quale sono stati movimentati 341.544 teu, con una diminuzione del 5% rispetto al corrispondente periodo del 2000.
«Nel breve termine - ha detto però il presidente di Sydney Ports Corporation, David Field - le prospettive di traffico per l'anno 2001-02 rimangono stabili nonostante il recente rallentamento dell'economia internazionale associato con la flessione delle importazioni in container. Tuttavia nel 2020 si prevede che Port botany raggiunta una movimentazione tra 2,5 e 3 milioni di teu». |
