Containers are down by -19% this week; air cargo is up by -1%


Dear colleagues and interested parties

We are sharing the latest version of the cargo report.

The following highlights are worth noting:

  1. TNPA: July update:
    1. Container throughput totalled 411,056 TEUs, which is down by -10% (m/m) and by -6% (y/y).
    2. Total bulk cargo totalled 18,929 million tonnes, which is down by -1% (m/m), but up by +11% (y/y).
    3. Vehicle throughput totalled 84,646 units, which is down by -3% (m/m), but up by +12% (y/y).
  2. DGT congestion current status:
    1. DGT is congested & constrained, as volumes dropped -26% (w/w). The terminal’s stacks are above 80%, which means that there is reduced yard fluidity contributing to vessel delays, with waiting times reaching 8–12 days.
    2. The key requirement remains close coordination, transparent communication and timely intervention across all operational interfaces, with a landside evacuation the current focus.
