Yilport volumes up in first half of 2018

Yilport’s facilities registered a 4.6% increase in volumes in the first half of 2018, handling 3.2m teu.

The growth was largely driven by the operator’s performance in Latin America, Turkey and at the Malta Freeport.

The Turkish company operates two facilities in Latin America, Puerto Bolívar in Ecuador and the Port of Paita in Peru. At Puerto Bolívar volumes rose by 30.1% to 60,525 teu, while Paita’s throughput hit 130,501 teu, translating to 16% growth.
