Water operation is an important part of the integrated transportation system and an important bridge connecting the world, and the container throughput of Shanghai Port has ranked first in the world for eleven consecutive years. From January to October this year, Shanghai Port completed container throughput of 38.977 million TEUs, an increase of 8.7% over the same period last year, and is expected to reach a new high.
