Shanghai port’s container throughput tops the world

Due to the strong recovery of China’s imports and exports, the Port of Shanghai’s total container throughput in the first eight months of 2010 stood at more than 19 million standard containers, making it the largest container port in the world.

According to statistics, the Port of Shanghai’s container throughput stood at more than 2.6 million standard containers in August 2010, up nearly 21 percent compared to the same period last year, and setting a new monthly record. As the two core ports of the Shanghai International Shipping Center are under construction, the throughput of the Yangshan Deepwater Port and the Waiguoqiao Port also kept increasing.
