Shanghai retained its position as the world’s busiest container port for the thirteenth consecutive year in 2022

Shanghai retained its position as the world’s busiest container port for the thirteenth consecutive year in 2022 despite emerging challenges from other ports including in China and Singapore’s new Tuas facility which began operations in 2022.

China historically has many of the top 10 ports in the world based on container volume. The facilities at Ningbo-Zhoushan continued to show strong growth in 2022 which represents a significant recovery from the spring of 2022 when volumes were constrained by lockdowns in the city and restrictions on the movement of trucks and cargo.
