Cargo throughput at the country's ports topped 6.25 billion metric tons in the same period, edging down 0.5 percent year-on-year, the data showed.

In May alone, China's ports handled more than 1.34 billion tons of cargo, while container throughput stood at 25.43 million TEUs, both registering month-on-month growth, said the ministry.
