“Overall we’re looking at growth in the first four months of low single digits,” Razon, chairman of International Container Terminal Services Inc., said in a Bloomberg Television interview on the sidelines on the Milken Institute global conference in Beverly Hills, California. “We have new ports that have come on line that have provided stronger growth than what the global trade reflects,” he added.
