Hong Kong
January 15, 2025
If in January 2024 the increase of +18.7% compared to the same month
of the previous year of containerized traffic handled on the
docks of the port of Hong Kong had raised hopes for a recovery
of this activity over the past year, this
expectation has been disappointed. The whole of 2024, in fact, is
archived with a traffic of approximately 13.69 million TEUs,
with a decrease of -4.9% on the previous year, which was
however, less pronounced than the -13.7% drop recorded in the
2023.
In the fourth quarter of 2024 alone, the Chinese port of call
handled 3.51 million TEUs, with a decrease of -2.7% on the previous year.
