Meanwhile, the same publication says that in April Ningbo-Zhoushan port is expected to post a container throughput of over three million teu, a new high for single month and an increase of 10% year-on-year.

Seatrade says that amid the recent covid-outbreaks in the Yangtze river delta, especially the neighbouring port Shanghai, Ningbo-Zhoushan port maintained smooth operations for container truck transportation and provided more solutions including opening up new services, adding freight places and adjusting empty containers to effectively relieve the logistics pressure in Yangtze river delta region.
