PortMiami posts improved volume growth

PortMiami has recorded a 21% year-on-year increase in April 2015, its busiest month since 2004.

This continues an improved fiscal year, which started in October 2014 and in which throughput has been up by 12% from 426,000 teu to 477,400 teu.

The port is currently working on a dredging project, deepening the main harbour channel from 42 ft (13 m) to 50 ft (15 m), which is scheduled to be completed in the summer.
