The container volume at Shanghai port reached over 49 million teu last year, marking a 3.6% increase from the previous year. The port area of Yangshan contributed significantly to this, with a container volume of 25 million teu, representing a 4.6% year-on-year increase and accounting for 51% of the total throughput of Shanghai port.

These figures demonstrate the continued growth and importance of Shanghai port as a key hub for container shipping. The increase in container volume reflects the port’s ability to handle a large volume of goods and its strong performance in the global shipping industry. With over 320 liner services weekly, the port is well-connected to ports worldwide, further solidifying its position as a major player in international trade. This growth and connectivity are expected to contribute to the port’s continued success in the future.
