From January to July, the Accumulative Cargo Throughput of Chinese Ports Was 3.88 Billion Ton
With the stimulation of predominant goods, the growth of Chinese coastal ports is faster than inland ports. Because of the fast and good increase predominant goods, the growth of coastal ports rises obviously. The growth rate is higher than the first half year by 1.3%. However, the growth of inland ports is relatively slow. The growth rate is higher than the first half year by only 0.2%, which affects the growth of the overall cargo throughput. Beneficial from the great increase of metallic minerals and mine construction materials, as well as the rapid rebound of coal, some 100-million-ton grade ports keep growing fast. The growth rates of the month of Dalian Port, Yingkou Port, Rizhao Port and Zhoushan Port were all over 20%. The growth rates of ports in Tongxhan Port and Fuzhou Port even surpassed 50%. Since 2009, the southern costal ports have been in a weak position. But most of them increased by over10% in July. It also first happened in Guangzhou Port. Beneficial from the rebounding demands for the domestic coal, the throughput of Qinhuangdao Port grew for the first time. On the contrary, the growth rates of large ports with leading cargo throughput like Shanghai Port, Ningbo Port and Shenzhen Port lagged behind, which had a bad impact on the cargo throughput of the overall cargo.
From January to July of 2009, Chinese foreign-trade cargo throughput rose month by month. In July, the foreign-trade cargo throughput was 190 million tons. From January to July, it added up to 1.2 billion tons, with a YOY increase of 1.9%. Among them, the costal ports completed 170 million tons in July and accumulatively completed 1.1 billion tons from January to July. The YOY increase was 1.1%. The inland ports completed 15 million tons in July and accumulatively completed 100 million tons from January to July. The YOY increase was 12%. Stimulated by the domestic demand of the national economy, China had a large demand for predominant goods like iron ores, coal, crude oil and beans. The import volume increased greatly. Besides, the decrease of foreign-trade containers slowed down. Therefore, the growth rate of the foreign-trade cargo throughput from January to July was higher than the first half year by 1.2% and the momentum was better month by month. Beneficial from the sharp increase of predominant goods, the 100-million-ton grade ports like Dalian Port, Tongxhan Port, Rizhao Port, Suzhou Port and Nantong Port had a foreign-trade growth rate of that month of over 20%. However, large southern ports like Shanghai Port, Guangzhou Port and Shenzhen Port had a negative growth and they greatly affected the whole foreign trade. Beneficial from the warming-up of the domestic infrastructure construction, basic materials like mine construction materials, iron and steel and concrete were in great demand, which promoted the increasing of cargo throughput of domestic goods. From January to July, the cargo throughput of domestic goods increased by 4.9% YOY, higher than that of the foreign trade by 3%. Obviously, the internal trade was very strong.
From January to July of 2009, Chinese container throughput grew higher than the first half of 2009 by 1%. The container throughput of northern ports grew steadily. The container throughput of Qingdao Harbor, Lianyungang was good; especially the container throughput amplitude of Yingkou Port and Tianjin Port surpassed double figures. The decreasing amplitude of Shanghai Port and Ningbo Port which performed weakly in early days shrank obviously. The throughput of Guangzhou Port turned from negative to positive for the first time. In July, the container throughput of ports was 10.56 million TEU; from January to July, it added up to 66.73 million TEU, with a YOY decrease of 9.9%. The throughput of costal ports was 9.52 million TEU; from January to July, it added up to 60.21 million TEU, with a YOY decrease of 9.6%. The throughput of inland ports was 1.04 million TEU; from January to July, it added up to 6.52 million TEU, with a YOY decrease of 12.7%.

USAsian asks for Cheap Air India flights for Indian cities
"After careful research and analysis we are convinced that it would be profitable for Air India to operate cheap flights from Washington Dulles International Airport to key cities in India," Ray said.
"Dulles airport transports close to 2,000 passengers on eight airlines and the passenger revenue amounts to approximately $1,235,000 daily," he said.
Air India's two daily flights from New York, which lands by 7.30 AM and leave by 9.30 PM (local time) the same day, sit idle and incur unnecessary parking fees amounting to nearly $10,000 per aircraft, he said.
"By rerouting the flights via Washington DC, not only will Air India save on parking expenses but also generate additional passenger revenue from Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC area," he said, adding that the region has seen substantial increase in Indian population in recent years.
"Washington DC would also be more accessible for passengers from the South corridor of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida," Ray said.

Computerized Valet Parking Systems by Service Tracking Systems to Offer Online Valet Reservation
The application is fast and easy to use. The welcome screen allows the parking facility to display advertising, or a customized message and logo, along with the options to make or cancel a reservation and to request a vehicle (where applicable). The valet customer inputs their vehicle and personal information, and prints out a bar coded boarding pass. This pass is scanned by the valet staff upon arrival, automatically entering all of the customer’s data into the system. Parking operators reduce labor cost by having the customer and vehicle information data automatically appear in the system as a result of the web reservations. The customer gains convenience and confidence in the system. The operator reduces labor. It’s a win-win situation.

2010 Infiniti QX45 w/ Rear Seat Ent and Tech Package MSRP: $62,865
USA EXPORT EXPERTS
Export or Local Sale: 2010 Infiniti QX65 w/ Rear Seat Entertainment and Technology Packages
2010 Infiniti QX56 Leads Full-Size Luxury SUV Segment with Refined Appointments, Expansive Sophistication
When the original Infiniti QX56 was introduced in early 2004, it quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the full-size SUV class – an embodiment of modern luxury, combining Infiniti levels of sophistication and advanced technology with a powerful new platform engineered to provide maximum utility and all-season versatility.
Following extensive revisions for the 2008 model year, the 2010 QX56 continues to stand apart from the competition with a style all its own. Its inspired performance can be seen in its elegant exterior, tailored interior and refined appointments – and experienced in the power and strength of its standard 320-horsepower 5.6-liter V8 and responsive 4-wheel independent suspension with an auto-leveling rear design. As in previous years, the 2010 Infiniti QX is assembled in the United States and is available in two-wheel drive (2WD) or with an advanced Infiniti All-Mode 4WD® system.
A Bold Luxury Presence
The 2010 Infiniti QX56’s refined exterior styling provides a presence befitting its top-luxury status. In the front, the distinctive QX56 “waterfall” grille is surrounded by a full-body type front fascia with jewel-like High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights and halogen fog lights. At the rear, a body-color fascia enhances the unique taillight design, further providing visual distinction from the competition. A remote-operated power liftgate with opening rear glass is standard. Distinctive 20-inch chromed wheels and integrated side body cladding add a classy and imposing stance. A smooth, one-piece roof rack provides additional utility.
Five exterior body colors are offered for 2010: Tuscan Pearl, Silver Indulgence, Silver Graphite, Liquid Onyx and Deep Garnet.
Other standard exterior features include dual power-adjustable power-folding, heated sideview mirrors with puddle lamps, integrated turn signals and driver’s side auto-dimming feature; privacy glass for the 2nd and 3rd rows and power liftgate; power flip-out rear quarter windows; and color-keyed running boards. Rear sonar sensors work along with the RearView Monitor system, which utilizes a small camera discretely located in the rear license plate finisher to provide a view (projected on the QX56’s standard navigation system’s LCD monitor) from the rear of the vehicle of what is behind the vehicle when backing up.
Infiniti QX56 4WD models include skidplates for oil pan, transfer case and fuel tank, along with a trailer hitch and 7-pin trailer harness plug.
Never able to leave our customers wanting, USA Export Experts has further customized this Infiniti to include the rear seat entertainment package with an 8 inch flip down screen, remote control and dual wireless headsets as well as the technology package featuring a full suite of driver and passenger safety features as well as an upgraded adaptive cruise control package.
