The activity of the port of Shanghai is almost normal

The Port of Shanghai is the world leader in container handling. Activity has resumed and the volume of containers processed has now reached 90% of the normal level.

 

 

 

For the past few weeks, its deepwater port, Yangshan Deepwater Port, has reported a steady increase in the handling of national container ships and international lines. The average daily container throughput increased from 32,000 to 52,000 TEU, reaching 90% of the normal level.

 

 

 

Due to economic restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 epidemic, the volume of goods decreased until mid-March. Many empty and refrigerated containers have been left at the Shanghai port site. This originally had a storage capacity of 390,000 TEU. With the restrictions imposed, this capacity increased to 480,000 TEU.
