Shanghai says it is world’s busiest container port

Shanghai. Shanghai overtook Singapore as the world’s busiest container port in 2010, helped by continuing growth in Chinese trade and the business generated by the World Expo it hosted last year, the city government said. Shanghai’s port handled 29.05mn 20ft equivalent units (TEUs) in 2010, the municipal government said, citing a work meeting on turning Shanghai into a global shipping centre. That compared with the 28.4mn TEUs handled by the Port of Singapore in 2010
