Container throughput at Haropa Port up by 16% to 1.46m teu

Haropa Port has recorded a 16% increase in container volumes to 1.46m teu in the first half of 2024 as the market continues to recover after two downward-trending years. 

The upturn has been caused by an increase in freight rates and the rerouting of ships via the Cape of Good Hope has called on high levels of capacity when demand has been accelerating since May. 

Hinterland traffic rose by 6% to over 1m teu and specifically, container traffic to and from the hinterland grew by 11%.
