More specifically, it marked the fourth consecutive month of growth in container throughput. At the same time, it has not yet reached the level of the summer of last year.

Additionally, the expansion of container throughput was strong in Chinese ports. In particular, the index increased to 140.5 points in May from 136.4 points in April.

On the other hand, box throughput in European ports fell again after a strong increase in April.

However, there are now signs of stabilisation in container throughput in Europe.
