Shanghai Port Becomes World's Largest Cargo Port

SHANGHAI, Jan 5 Asia Pulse - Shanghai Port has become the world's largest cargo port, with its cargo handling capacity topping 443 million tons in 2005, higher than that of Singapore Port, according to the latest statistics of Shanghai Port Management Department.

The rapid development of the Chinese economy and the hinterland resource advantage of Yangtze River Delta are the main reasons underlining Shanghai Port's achievement. It only took Shanghai Port five years to double cargo handling capacity from 200 million tons to 400 million tons.

However, there is still a big gap between Shanghai Port and Singapore Port in container handling capacity. The latest statistics show that Shanghai Port handled 18.09 million TEUs (twenty foot equivalent unit) of containers in 2005, rising 24.2 per cent over the previous year and taking the third position in the world. In contrast, Singapore Port handled 21.2 million TEUs of container in the first 11 months of 2005, rising 8.4 per cent. In terms of growth rate, the container handling capacity of Shanghai grew much faster than that of Singapore Port.

The economic development of Shanghai, Yangtze River delta and Yangtze River valley has also fuelled the development of Shanghai Port. At present, Shanghai Port has opened shipping lines around the globe, with ocean shipping lines extending to Europe, America and Australia and offshore shipping lines to Japan and Southeast Asia. The number of voyages amounts to 1,967 monthly, including 942 international ones.
