Container Traffic Grows in Piraeus

Maritime Activity Reports, Inc.

September 16, 2016

 Consolidating the port of Piraeus' position as the main pillar of the Chinese group Cosco’s overseas activity, its container traffic continues to break one record after another, reports Kathimerini.

 
The two terminals operated by Cosco handled a total of 329,600 containers in August, up 32.3 percent from the same month in 2015.
 
In August last year the negative impact of the strict capital controls had started to become clear and total traffic reached just 249,100 containers.
 
Records have been broken each month this summer, with 314,000 in June and 323,300 in July.
