BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): More than 23,000 empty containers have been returned to Thailand since February, enabling the export of 458,000 tonnes of products worth over THB35 billion, Thai Chamber of Commerce vice chairman Phot Aramwatthananont said on Wednesday (May 26).
“The return of the empty containers have helped alleviate the shortage problem Thai exporters have been facing due to lockdown measures in some countries in this Covid-19 situation. This prevented cargo ships from returning with empty containers, ” he said.
