Non-container cargo climbed 2.2 percent on-year to 91.3 million tons last month, while container freight also added 3.1 percent to 2.3 million twenty-foot equivalent units.
A total of 1.4 million TEUs of export-import cargo was processed over the same period, up 5 percent from the previous year's 1.3 million TEUs.
Trade shipments have been on a steady rise as Asia's fourth-largest economy has seen its exports gain ground since November on the back of recovering world trade and rising oil prices.
Busan is South Korea's biggest maritime gateway, with cargo handling reaching 34.6 million tons in the one month, followed by the southwestern port of Gwangyang with 24.6 million tons and Ulsan with 17.3 million tons, the latest data showed. (Yonhap)
