(MENAFN) Governmental data showed growing in the quantity of cargo in South Korean's seaports, with an amount of 2%.
This increase was the result of larger non-container cargo, which moved up 3% on-year.
Also, the country's largest port, in Busan, handled 9.62m TEUs, from the first half of the year. But Incheon Port posted an 8.2-% rise to 1.23m TUEs.
A ministry official stated that, "In the first half, cargo volume stood at the level of the previous year. But in the second half, a positive factor is expected from improved global economic and trade situations and the expansion of Panama Canal."
