The port of Shanghai has achieved another landmark in container throughput in 2011.
Shanghai International Port （Group） Co., Ltd. （SIPG） said the port handled 31.74 million TEUs last year, up 9.2% from the previous year's 29.07 million TEUs, breaking a 30 million mark for the first time in the world's port history. China's remarkable trade boom is reflected in the port of Shanghai's numbers, which went from 7,951 TEUs in 1978 to 29.05 million TEUs in 2010, SIPG said.
Shanghai, the world's busiest container port, will consolidate its title this year and leverage its record throughput to become a multi-faceted provider of port services.
