THE Port of Brisbane saw a decrease in total trade volumes in December, driven by a decline in bulk exports, reports Daily Cargo News, North Sydney.
In December 2021, the port handled 2.4 million tonnes of trade, including both containerised and non-containerised cargo. This was a decrease of eight per cent in the same month in 2020.
While imports were up seven per cent to 1.5 million tonnes, exports saw a significant fall over the period.
Total trade exported from Brisbane in December came to 799,115 tonnes, a 30 per cent decrease on the same month in 2020.
The decrease in bulk exports was driven by a big decrease in coal exports.
In the last month of 2021, the port exported 49,843 tonnes of coal, down from 404,607 tonnes in December 2020, a decrease of 88 per cent.
