KUNDUZ: An official of Port Sher Khan said that port’s revenue decreased 27 percent to 200 million afghanis due to prolonged election procedure.
The future of the container terminal, however, is less optimistic as the company expects the reduction in throughput that has been experienced in recent years to accelerate. “Shipping lines always want to avoid incurring the extra costs of transshipment and with increasing vessel tonnage available they can now do more direct calls. This is a growing trend and will mean that our transshipment business will continue to erode for the foreseeable future,” it added.
