(1) Containerization Factor: Containerization factors are the same as those
in 2020.
(2) Domestic Feeder Transport of Foreign Cargo: Transshipment ratios from
major ports to secondary ports are the same as those in 2020.
(3) Empty Container Ratio: The surplus ratio of empty container to the larger
number between export and import is the same as that in 2020.
3) Foreign Trade Volume by Cargo Type
Foreign trade volume is computed by cargo type such as container, break
bulk, solid bulk and liquid bulk. The results are shown in the table below.
