FOR the thirteenth year in a row, Shanghai Port remains the world's busiest container port despite the COVID-19 epidemic, according to the port's 2022 statistics.
Shanghai's container throughput exceeded 47.3 million TEU last year, according to the Shanghai International Port (Group) Co, Ltd, the port operator, reports Xinhua.
In the first quarter, the production of Shanghai Port Group achieved a good start. The container throughput in July rebounded in a V-shape, setting a new monthly high with 4.30 million TEU. On a daily basis, Shanghai Port set a new 24-hour record of 170,173 TEU in September, with the peak days on September 8 and 11 exceeding 160,000 and 170,000 TEU, respectively.
The port operator attributed the increased port performance to technological innovations, new regional expansion and new business development. "They include making a combination of optimizing sea-rail intermodal transport; water-to-water transfer and other measures to maintain stable industry chains and ensure supplies and smooth business for enterprises," the report said.
The port has also opened a green transportation channel for important production and living materials.
