Somebody said that the cargo cleared through Port of Singapore dropped 40% over the past years.
I checked the port statistics. He is mistaken. (I do not think that he intentionally gave fake news).
Here are the statistics.
Total cargo (general and bulk)
2007 - 483 million tonne
2017 - 627 million tonne
Container
2007 - 27.9 m TEU
2017 - 33.7 m TEU
I think container cargo is excluded from total cargo.

1 TEU contains about 24 tonne of dry cargo (average). 33.7 TEU = 800 tonne, i.e. slightly more than general and bulk cargo.

ReplyDeleteI think you missed out the word MILLION.
It should be 33.7 millon TEU or 800 Million tonnes.
