The total volume for the year is expected to reach 720,000 TEUs, said a port official. This increase is resultant from an extensive domestic and overseas promotion drive waged by local authorities, and improved services at local customs facilities, the official said. In addition, a number of new container shipping lanes have been opened from Dalian to various other major domestic and foreign ports.
