JURONG Port said yesterday its container throughput in September fell 32.63 per cent to 64,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), from 95,000 TEUs a year earlier. But September’s figure was about 8.5 per cent higher than that in August,

when the port handled 59,000 TEUs. August’s throughput was down 33 per
cent from 88,000 TEUs the year before and the same as July’s 59,000
TEUs.

In August, Singapore’s overall container throughput rose 2.5 per cent
month-on-month to 2.28 million TEUs, but this was still 13.8 per cent
down from 2.6 million boxes moved in August last year.
