World's busiest port

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The world's busiest ports are commonly ranked by cargo tonnage and by
volume of container shipment measured in TEUs. Since the 2000s, the Port of
Shanghai has surpassed the Port of Singapore and the Port of Hong Kong to
become the world's busiest port by both measures.[1][2][3] In 2010 however,
the Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan surpassed Shanghai in one of the measures to
become the World's busiest port by cargo tonnage.[4]
