    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.
