The throughput decrease reflects the sharp reduction in global trade volume during the first part of the year and stablised volumes thereafter. The division's various ports in Hong Kong and Mainland China; other Asian countries; and the Americas recorded combined throughput declines of 7% and 10% respectively. These decreases were partially offset by new contribution from European ports acquired in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. The division's EBIT in local currencies decreased 19% and after translation to Hong Kong dollars, the EBIT from this division decreased 21% to HK$10,406 million, mainly due to a decrease in throughput and tariff pressure. partially offset by the implementation of a cost saving programme. Although this division reported lower results, recent increases in international trade volumes is an encouraging sign for a steady recovery by this division. The division contributed 14% and 27% respectively to the total revenue and EBIT of the Croup's established businesses. 2009 FINS millions Fs in change Total Revenue 33,427 39.594 •1614 EMT 10,406 13,236 •21% • HIT is tne list container tetanal *Nato' in Hong Kong to nave its intoimation sway management sotem teamed to ISO,IEC 27001:200S. 16 Hutchison Whampoe Limited EFTA00614518  Comparison of Throughput at Total Revenue Total Container Throughput World's Busiest Container Ports HES sakes mach Thus mike inns 33An 3317 59.3 11 SIA I 31 is 2015 2016 200?
