NOL said in a statement it carried the equivalent of 212,000 40-foot containers (FEUs) on its ships in the period, up from 157,800 a year earlier.
The average revenue from each container rose 15 percent during the period to $2,669 from a year earlier, signalling a recovery in the shipping sector.
The rise in container revenue was largely due to improved core freight rates on a number of trade routes, particularly on services between Asia and Europe, and also higher bunker recovery, it said. (Reuters)
