Advertiser Staff

Portland cement shipments to Hawai'i fell in June compared with a year earlier as construction activity in the state slowed.

Data furnished by Bloomberg L.P. shows the shipments of Portland cement, a commonly used cement for making concrete, fell to 33,199 metric tons in June, or 13.3 percent less than a year earlier. That compared with a 14.5 percent decline in the shipments nationally.
