The photo taken on March 27, 2017 shows Changsha New Port in busy operation. The throughput volume of the port has bucked fears of a slowdown since this year, with bulk cargo and container throughput both hitting a record high. At present, the bulk cargo throughput increased 33% year-on-year to nearly 900,000 tons, and container throughput increased 43% year-on-year to 35,000 TEUs.
