Yangshan breaking records
From:Shanghai Daily  |  2021-04-12 09:29

THE container throughput of Shanghai ports topped the world for the 11th consecutive year in 2020, and the Yangshan Deep-Water Port was a major contributor in handling the city’s explosive growth in trade.

Last year, it had a record-breaking container throughput of 20 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units). More than half the goods are then transferred by road, of which half use China’s extensive expressway network.

The world’s biggest single-building container port lies at the mouth of the Yangtze River outside Shanghai on reclaimed islands, withenough space for outsize ocean-going ships to berth.
