CHINA's growing in global trade
was reflected in 2020 statistics as its major container ports continued to grow
despite the Covid crisis, reports London's Lloyd's Loading List
Chinese ports are on six of the top eight spots
in Alphaliner's ranking of the world's biggest 25 container hubs in 2020.
Shanghai retained its position as the world's largest box
port in 2020, with volumes rising 0.5 per cent. The Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan
fell 4.4 per cent, Shenzhen dropped three per cent, Qingdao fell 4.7 per cent
and Tianjin dropped 6.1 per cent.
"With booming transpacific trade volumes, Qingdao
moved up to sixth place during the year, while number one Shanghai pulled
further ahead of its nearest competitor, Singapore, increasing its lead by
nearly 10 per cent to 6.7 million TEU," said Alphaliner.
Shanghai's throughput rose to 43.5 million TEU compared
with Singapore's 36.9 million TEU, a drop of 0.9 per cent.
Malaysia's Port Kelang and Tanjung Pelepas and
Los Angeles/Long Beach and New York/Newark were
the only other countries with more than one port in the top 25.
The top 25 container ports handled a combined
395.7 million TEU, a rise of 0.55 per cent versus the 393.5 million recorded in
2019.
